Each and every IT system needs some sort of backup/restore, and Hitachi Content Intelligence (HCI) is not different. On one hand, system configuration needs to be secured, but also Workflow details need to be kept safe, and eventually even versioned. Indexes might need backup, as well - even if it’s often possible to re-index the data sources.

The hciexport tool wraps some of HCI’s features related to these needs into a convenient automation tool.

Features included are:

  • Configuration export:

    • Export a complete Workflow bundle (all Workflow-related configuration like DataSources, Pipelines, Indexes, Content Classes, Workflows)

    • Export the complete System configuration (all system configuration, plugins, as well as the Workflow configuration)

  • Control backup and restore of Indexes:

    • list existing indexes

    • start index backup, get backup status, list backup iterations, delete backups

    • start index restore, get restore status

Dependencies

You need to have at least Python 3.8 installed to run hciexport.

It depends on the httpx for communication with HCI.
