Performing a partial export

Use this procedure to selectively export object types and generate a Java™ archive (JAR) file that contains the export data.

Before you begin

Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you, contact your system administrator.

Ensure that you identified all the dependencies needed for the objects that you want to export.

About this task

The JAR file that is generated by this task includes a full extract of the exportable object types that you specify. The extract includes their dependencies and references to containers.

You can search for and select the following object types and include them in a partial export JAR file:

  • Adoption policy
  • Group
  • Identity policy
  • Lifecycle operation
  • Lifecycle rule
  • Organizational role
  • Password policy
  • Provisioning policy
  • Service
  • Service selection policy
  • Workflow
