documentation / help for running idempodent configs - checksum question

Hi,

is there any help or documentation if I want to achieve idempodent configuration provision of the cli tool?

For example, it detects that my realms are existing and no actions are done, but it always says it updates my realm clients, roles and users I present in the JSONs.

What is the checksum used for?

For example, the cli tool logs:

2020-03-04 07:40:48.273 DEBUG 178 --- [ main] d.a.k.config.service.RealmImportService : No need to update realm 'master', import checksum same: '324a31eb1912f70114550e958134e667391266facd618769646d799372bc3e58931d93f020d88e60aed9fd28be65490fb5800d43ae7aee6d0ff993a19b765a61'

Question:

Does the script names have any semantics or processing order?

Would it be possible that script names could have semantics, for example like in flyway (except that you don’t store the state anywhere)

So that you could define

• Repeatable scripts
• Policy (Create if not exists, Update, Create once)
• Processing order with number

I am using docker image adorsys/keycloak-config-cli:v0.8.0-7.0.0

No restrictions from keycloak-config-cli. But the import REST API lacks sometimes. Some settings needs custom handing

Looks like there is no update mechansim.
