Importing and exporting data quality components

You can import and export InfoSphere® Information Analyzer data quality components, including data rule definitions, rule set definitions, data rules, rule sets, global variables, and metrics from the InfoSphere Information Analyzer client. IBM® InfoSphere Information Analyzer quality components are moved from a development or test environment to one or more production environments. .

You can use this capability to import and export individual data quality components or to move these assets from a development or test environment to one or more production environments. In addition to moving data quality components from development or test InfoSphere Information Server instances to multiple production environment servers, you can also use this capability for backup and restore purposes.
Note: To import and export assets that are not data quality components, import or export the project from the File > Import Project area of the InfoSphere Information Analyzer client or use the istool command line.
