Exporting data using the partial export option

About this task

Use the partial export option to export a single resource or group of resources. Exported resources can be either defined or prototype resources.

Only WebSphere® MQ resources and attributes that are supported by WebSphere MQ are included in the exported data. Resources, such as configured system groups, and attributes, such as the host system name, that exist only in the defined view and have no correspondent in the actual WebSphere MQ environment, are not exported.

Resources that are based on prototypes are effectively disinherited in the exported XML file and global variables are resolved to their values.

Do the following steps to export a resource using the partial export option:

Important: If the granular security function is enabled in your environment, make sure that your system administrator has granted you the required authorities to perform this operation.

Procedure

Right-click the resource that you want to export in the defined or prototype view and select Export > Partial.

In the Save window, enter the name of the XML file in which to store the exported XML data and click OK. A message is displayed reminding you that if you want to be able to import a previously exported resource, you must not delete its prototype.
Click OK to continue. A message is displayed indicating that the XML file is exported.
Click OK to close it.

Results

An XML file that contains information about all the resources that you selected is created. Other resources contained within selected resources are also exported. For example, if you selected a queue manager, all the objects that it contains, such as queues and channels, are also exported.
