When an export package contains the objects that you want,
you create a .zip file that you will
use to migrate your changes from one environment to another.
Procedure
- With the export package open in the Object Migration tool,
click Export.
- In the Objects panel, select Wait for a
synchronous export or Background for an asynchronous export.
Maximo® Real Estate and
Facilities generates a .zip file that contains a
.xml file for each of the package's objects.
- If you are exporting synchronously, specify the location
for the exported file and click Save.
- If you are exporting asynchronously, the file is saved in the
userfiles/ObjectMigration directory of the
Maximo Real Estate and
Facilities installation,
for example,
/home/default/userfiles/ObjectMigration/Building BO.zip.
While the Object Migration Agent is working on the export package, you cannot change the
definition of the package shown in the Object Migration screen. You are notified when the export is
completed.
What to do next
During the export process,
Maximo Real Estate and
Facilities might log error and
warning messages in the Object Migration log file. The Object Migration log file is in the
log directory of the
Maximo Real Estate and
Facilities installation, for
example, /home/default/log/ObjectMigration.log.
When the
.zip file is downloaded, the status of the Object Migration package changes to
Exported. You are ready to migrate the objects into another
Maximo Real Estate and
Facilities
environment by importing the .zip file into that environment.
