Adding objects to an export package

The next step is to add objects to your export package by using any of the available search parameters in the Object Finder panel.

About this task

You can add one object at a time to the package and then add its dependents, or you can add a set of objects and then add their dependents. The method that you choose to add objects that are dependents of other objects to your package is based on your objectives and your familiarity with your IBM TRIRIGA implementation.

It might not be necessary to add all dependencies. It entirely depends on your target environment. You might need to add only the objects that changed since a specific date. Using the Modified After or Modified By search parameters can help.

When you locate the first level of dependencies for the Record Data object type, all subsequent levels of associated record data are retrieved in the dependency results for the Record Data that you selected. Therefore, there is no need to find dependents of dependents for Record Data.

Procedure

  1. Locate an object or a set of objects to add to the export package by specifying one or more parameters in the Search Parameters section of the Object Finder panel.
  2. Click Search.
  3. To add the object or set of objects that are listed in the Search Results section to the export package, select the check boxes for the objects and click Add Selected Objects.

    1. Locate dependents of the selected dependent object or objects by clicking Find Dependents.
    2. Add dependent objects that are listed in the Search Results section to the export package by selecting the check boxes for the dependent objects and clicking Add Selected Objects.
  6. Repeat the process of adding dependents of dependents as needed.
  7. Click Reset Search in the Object Finder to clear the current search data and select the search parameters for your next object or set of objects.
  8. When the export package contains all of the objects that you want, save the package.
