Exporting using a properties file

You can specify your export requirements in properties file instead of specifying your requirements using separate parameters at the command line.

1. Create a properties file that specifies the data that you want to export and save it as export-settings.properties in a known location.

   Below is example content for an export properties file:

   import.includePlugins=ImportPagePlugin
   export.includePlugins=ExportPagePlugin
   import.backupDir=c:/tmp/bkups
   export.exportFile=c:/tmp/extest.zip
   import.importFile=c:/tmp/extest.zip
   username=tip_admin_user
   password=tip_admin_password
   import.haSupport=true

   Note: Some parameters are import or export specific. Import specific parameters should be prefixed by import. and export specific parameters should be prefixed by export.. For example, import.backupDir=c:/tmp/bkups.
2. At the command line change to: tip_home_dir/profiles/TIPProfile/bin.
3. To export customization data based on the contents of a specific properties file, run the following command:
   • tip_home_dir\profiles\TIPProfile\bin\tipcli.bat Export --username tipadmin_user_name --password tipadmin_password --settingFile export_properties_file
   • tip_home_dir/profiles/TIPProfile/bin/tipcli.sh Export --username tipadmin_user_name --password tipadmin_password --settingFile export_properties_file

   Where:

   export_properties_file

   An argument to the settingFile parameter that provides the location and name of the export properties file, for example, C:\\tmp\\export.properties.

   Note: You must use double backslashes characters (\\) when specifying the path to your settings file.

   Note: If there is a conflict between settings specified in the properties file and parameters provided at the command line, then the command line parameters take precedence.
