Export and Import

You can export and import configuration data from TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator using TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator.

  • Export: Exports or extracts configuration data from TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator in to CLI format (XML files).
  • Import: Imports exported configuration data back into TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator using exported CLI files.
Warning: Export and import is not supported for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM applications and capabilities.

Basic User Workflow for Export or Import

You can run an export process either using the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator GUI or the CLI scripts. The output of the export process is an archive file which contains a set of CLI files and Data files. The archive file is stored on the same machine on which TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator is running. Later, when you want to use this data to re-create the configuration that was exported, you can use Apache ANT (1.8.2+) and TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator CLI scripts found in the archive file. Running the CLI scripts along with the ANT scripts re-creates the configuration.
Note: Super user credentials are required to extract or export data. This restriction does not apply during Import. However, while importing, you must have create permissions for TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator on which import is running.
