Migrate only changes in sysconfig

[ndhvu275]

Hi all,

What is the best solution when I want to migrate only changes in sysconfig? For exmaple
- I had 2 instances of OTRS: 1 for test and 1 for production.
- I've done some changes in sysconfig on test environment
- So, I just want to migrate changes only in sysconfig from test to production environment
I know we can use will export (from test)/import (to production) functionality in sysconfig, but the exported file would be included a whole configuration from test, I don't want a whole, I just want the changes only

Please help me the solution
Thanks in adv

Maybe an diff between pre- and postconfigurationfile?

Yep, so do you have any way to do that? Thanks

diff Config.pm and Kernel/Config dir Z*Auto.pm

diff Config.pm and Kernel/Config dir Z*Auto.pm

Sorry, I'm still not fully clear your idea. I'm understanding:
- Make a ZXXAuto.pm includes configure changes only, then place this file in Kernel/Config/Files/. Is it right?
- About diff Config.pm file, I don't understand. Please explain more

Thanks in adv

No, but on a distribution basis, making that file ZZZZAuto.pm would do what you wish.

About diff Config.pm file, I don't understand. Please explain more

The concept is this:
1) create a vanilla/base install of OTRS without configuration changes.
2) determine a diff of the base install of Config.pm and the Config/Z*Auto.pm
3) ignore the parts in diff for Config.pm related to the database connection.
4) store the diff information as a file and copy it to the new location
5) patch the destination files.

Or, you know, just copy Config.pm and Config/Z*.pm from source to destination.

but the exported file would be included a whole configuration from test, I don't want a whole, I just want the changes only

Changes from ... what? and the result of the changes from test applied to the production is different from copy/paste in what way?

Thank so much Crythias, I did follow this solution
