Hi solucionesuno,

actually, there is no "easy" way ( yet ), to export/import service/hosting - plans. But you may vote for such a feature for the Plesk Control Panel at:

=> import / Export hosting plans​

But you still have the choice to export a service/hosting - plan with the help of CLI - commands ( => service_plan: Hosting Plans ):

Example:

plesk bin service_plan -x "Unlimited"

... which results in an output in XML - format of your depending service/hosting - plan at your command line.

This XML - content can now be used to create a XML-RPC API request, with which you are able to create a new service plan on your 2. server.

=> About XML API​

A very dificult task.

I think that it is a featured normally needed by all people that work with more than one plesk server.

OK i find this examples:

GitHub - plesk/api-examples: Plesk API-RPC usage examples

And this documentation.

Creating a Service Plan

I am trying to do it with

REMOTE_HOST=your-plesk-host.dom REMOTE_LOGIN=admin REMOTE_PASSWORD=password ./example.sh

My Xml post is

<packet>
<service-plan>
   <add>
   <domain-service-plan owner-login="admin" name="BASICO">

<service-plan-item name="asp">false</service-plan-item>

<service-plan-item name="cgi">true</service-plan-item>

.......

And i get this response

<?xml version="1.0"?>
        <packet version="1.6.9.0">
                <system>
                        <status>error</status>
                        <errcode>1014</errcode>
                        <errtext>Parser error: Request is invalid. Error in line 4: Element 'domain-service-plan': This element is not expected. Expected is ( name ).</errtext>
                </system>       </packet>

seems that my xml post is not well formated.

 

[solucionesuno]

the sheme exported with

plesk bin service_plan -x "Unlimited"

is total different by the sheme for API call to create the service plan, so I have to rewrite all the XML to be compatible?

seems that the way to do is get the information service plan also via API

Hi solucionesuno,

so I have to rewrite all the XML to be compatible?

As I wrote earlier, it is really not "easy", I'm afraid. Yes, you have to rewrite it.

@solucionesuno I have the same challenge and am looking at using puppet with this. Either via wrapper scripts that use the cli output to pipe through the API or some other way.
