Exporting Content Manager OnDemand administrative objects to an XML file

About this task

You can use the ARSXML command to export objects from Content Manager OnDemand into an XML file in several ways:

Export a single object, such as a single user
All of the defined objects of a particular type, for example, all user groups
Any combination of objects, for example, a user group and all users in that group

This feature can be used to backup part of a Content Manager OnDemand system, copy objects from one system to another, or store objects into an XML file so that they can be processed by another application.

Use the ARSXML command to export administrative objects into an XML file. For syntax, description, and parameters of this command, see Examples.

If you are exporting objects that have dependencies on other objects: Some objects in Content Manager OnDemand might have dependencies on other objects, for example, a group object has a dependency on all of the users that are defined within the group. When you export these objects, you can use the —r parameter with a value of d to include in the XML file all of the dependent objects that the exported objects might have.

See Examples for more example XML files that are generated in different export scenarios.
