Importing and exporting projects from the client

You can import and export projects and project assets and move them between instances of the IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server metadata repository by using the InfoSphere Information Analyzer import and export wizards.

You can import and export projects and the assets that are associated with them, including analysis results, data rules, data classes, and common metadata.

Note:

You can import and export most InfoSphere Information Analyzer assets by using the import and export wizards in the InfoSphere Information Analyzer client. All assets, except reports, that are associated with a specified project are exported or imported as part of the project when they are imported or exported with the import and export wizards that are available from the File menu. However, you can import or export a subset of data quality components (data rule definitions, rule set definitions, data rules, rule sets, or metrics) by using the import and export wizards from the Develop > Data Quality workspace. You can also import and export global logical variables separately from other project assets from the HOME > Metadata Management > Global Logical Variables workspace.
You must use the istools command line to import and export InfoSphere Information Analyzer reports.
