Packaging Tool
The pfxpackage is a tool that exports/imports partition configuration 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 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 configuration package to a Git repository to represent a particular state of the partition.
Apply the same configuration package to multiple Pricefx partitions/environments.
The package structure and data are independent of a specific Pricefx partition/instance and they are Pricefx API version tolerant. The package format is canonical: the same "user-observed" configuration always yields to the same binary package.
