To Export Resources:
1. Click Library from the OpenEdge Management console menu bar. OpenEdge Management Component Library page appears.
2. Click Export Components. OpenEdge Management Export Step 1: Select Resources for Export page appears.
3. Select the component to export. Select/Unselect resources below to add/remove from export list
4. Select from any of the links to add to the same export file.
5. Click OK to return to the OpenEdge Management Export Step 1: Select Resources for Export page. The list of Components selected for export appears below.
6. Click Export when all components have been selected. In the Export to file field, OpenEdge Management provides a default path and filename for the export file to be created. These can be changed if needed.
Indicate what action to take if the file already exists. The options available are:
- Display an error, default option.
- Overwrite existing file, which removes any data currently in the file.
- Update/add components to existing file, which allows the components selected to be added to the list of components in the existing file. If a component selected for export already exists in the .xml file, the old definition will be removed and the selected component added.
7. Choose one of the following:
- Back — Returns you to the OpenEdge Management Export Step 1: Select Resources for Export page.
- Cancel — Ends the export setup process.
- Finish — Initiates the export operation. The Exporting File page appears, noting the path and filename of the exported file. The Exporting File page is updated every three seconds. In general, the larger the number of components being exported in the export.xml file, the longer the operation can take.
Once the export operation is completed, the Export Summary Report page appears.
The header information on this page identifies the path and filename to which the exported components were sent.
The date and time information identifies when the export operation occurred.
The report details on the Export Summary Report page provide the list of components that were exported, updated, or determined to be dependent because they are referenced by an exported resource.
This process also determines if any errors occur that prevent the export from succeeding. If an error occurs, the error will appear in a separate window, and the report page will provide detailed information about the error.
8. Click Clear Report once the exported resources list has been reviewed. Another export operation can be initiated once the report has been cleared.
To Import Resources:
1. Click Library from the OpenEdge Management console menu bar. The OpenEdge Management Component Library page appears.
2. Click Import Components. The OpenEdge Management Import page appears.
3. Import from file: shows the default path and filename used for the most recent export operation, which can be changed as needed.
4. Indicate which action to take if any of the components being imported already exist:
- Display an error - Indicates that none of the components will be imported if any component in the import file conflicts with an existing component. (default)
- Keep existing resource - Indicates that the existing definition of a given component be maintained and the imported definition discarded.
- Replace existing resource - Indicates that the existing definition will be deleted and the imported definition will be added.
5. Choose one of the following:
- Import - Initiates the import operation. The Importing File page displays and is updated every three seconds. In general, the larger the number of components being imported from the export.xml file, the longer the operation can take.
- Cancel - Terminates the current import selections.
Once the export operation is completed, the Import Summary Report page appears.
The report data on the Import Summary Report page indicates which components have been updated. This update occurs when the Replace existing resource option was selected on the OpenEdge Management Import page. Unlike with the export operation, there are no explicit and implicit components associated with the import operation. No components appear dimmed in the import operation’s report page.
If the Display an error option on the OpenEdge Management Import page was selected and a conflict is encountered, an error will notify that the import failed.
