FAQ for Export

Can I run many exports?

Yes. You can run as many exports you need; provided the ActiveMatrix Administrator's server has enough disk space to hold exported archives. We recommend you move exported archives from it default location <CONFIG_HOME>/admin/<enterprise name>/private/<Admin instance name>/exports once export is completed.

Also each export archive does have unique file name that makes it easy to identify (who created it and when it was created).

Can I change the location where export archives are stored?

No. As of now, it is fixed to location <TIBCO Config Home>/admin/<Enterprise_Name>/shared/export. Using the URL that is displayed, you can download the archive to another location.

Can I pick a particular AMX Objects to be exported and not all of them?

As of now, export is at an Enterprise level. For example, if you choose to export Applications, all the applications available in that Enterprise are exported. You cannot choose one particular application to be exported.

Can I download all the DAAs that are on AMX Admin as part of export?

No. As of now, export only exports DAAs that have applications created out of them. If there is a DAA that has no Applications (or Shared library) created out of it, that DAA is not exported.

Instead, you can go to DAAs tab under Software Management and download all the DAAs currently available.

Can I change the build files that Exported archive uses?

If you look at the exported archive, all the *build.xml files are based on templates. All the *.node_build.xml files or host_build.xml files are based on a template. Each build file of same ActiveMatrix Object type is the same (they all have been pre-created) and are located at <TIBCO_HOME>\administrator\<version>\templates\import.cli.

The <TIBCO_HOME>\administrator\<version>\templates\import.cli\readme.txt file lists what files can be changed if needed.

Do I need to change memory setting for System Node before running Export?

No. The default settings are sufficient.

Do all Nodes and Hosts need to be up and running before running Export?

No. Only the System Node (ActiveMatrix Administrator) needs to be up and running before running export.
