Exporting migration collection records

You can export XML representations of the records in a migration collection to help you track or manage the configurations in external systems.

For example, you can track configurations in an external version control system so that you can compare changes over time.

Before you begin

Exported configurations are saved to the maximo/migration/collectionexport folder on the application server. In a clustered environment, all application servers in the cluster must be able to access the folder. You can specify a different folder in the mxe.dm.dmroot system property.

About this task

Exported configurations are saved to a file whose name is collection_objectstructure_datetime.xml.

Procedure

  1. In the Migration Collections application, select a migration collection.
  2. Click Export Configuration on the row of a single record, or select multiple records and click Export Configurations.
  3. If you exported a single record, specify the destination for the XML file and save the file.

What to do next

Store the exported records in your external system.
