The pfxpackage is a tool that exports and /imports selected customization/partition configuration parts to/from a package structure.

The package is an organized and partition-neutral representation of Pricefx objects in form of set of folders and files. The package format is canonical: the same "user-observed" configuration always yields to the same binary package.

Using this tool you can:

...

The tool can be used to:

  • Fetch (export) partition configuration from the partition to the configuration package on local computer.

  • Deploy (import) the configuration package to a partition. 

  • Delete package data from any partition.

You can use configuration packages for various purposes:

  • Compare configurations of several partitions - for example, you can export packages from several related Pricefx instances/partitions (such as customer environments) and compare them using GUI tools (e.g. Meld, WinDiff, Total Commander, IDEA)

  • Save any configuration package to a Git repository to represent a particular state . Import the package to any of the partition. 

  • This way you can apply

    Apply the same

    customization/

    configuration package to multiple Pricefx partitions

    (environments).

    Delete package data from any partition/environments.

The package structure and data are independent of a specific Pricefx partition/instance and they are Pricefx API version tolerant.
