Not able to clone PDI

Hi everyone, 

We have requirement to clone production instance to test instance in our project, though our management team ask to try cloning in PDI first and then replicate similar logic in Production and Test instance.

 

I have taken the below steps in PDI: 

1. On source instance marked "glide.soap.require_ws_security" system property to true.

2. Created a new user in source instance, given him admin role and marked Internal Integration User to true.

3. Created a Clone target record.

4. In source instance marked "glide.db.clone.allow_clone_target" system property to true using background script.

5. In target instance crated Clone Profile for source instance and clicked on "Create a clone request" selected the schedule time and click on submit.

6. Authentication successful also saw the warning message and confirmed it.

7. Initial state of System Clone is Requested I clicked on Check Clone status and the System Clone state becomes Error.

8. The error log shows below two errors,

    i. "clone.log.error.status.confirmation"

   ii. Unable to contact server for confirmation. Please check the server URL. (this is repetitive when I refresh the error log)

9 I then checked history in target instance and able to see in the state of Clone Request now becomes Hold and clone log shows below message

   i. Clone CLNREQ0001032 scheduling failed.Status updated to Hold.

 

I'm attaching screenshot of error log.

 

I am expecting a reply which states:

1. End to end steps to clone the instance.

2. Is it possible to clone PDI's.

3. How to get rid of "Unable to contact server for confirmation. Please check the server URL."  issue.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Sameer

O oke, that simply will not be possible.

 

And like I mentioned, that's also not what PDIs are intended for.

 

Kind regards,
