Export Options

The following export options apply to all data objects listed in Exported Objects.

  • Export with Permissions — This option exports each ActiveMatrix Administrator object along with the permission.

Each ActiveMatrix Administrator object can have various types of permissions (ACL) for various users. You can use this option if you have to copy the same (ACL) permissions to the target ActiveMatrix Administrator.

The default is false.

Note: If you select this option, the target system requires the same users and groups that occur in permissions.
  • Include System Objects — This option exports objects created as a part of the product configuration. For example: Mediation IT applications, system level resource templates created for system applications, TIBCO ActiveMatrix Governance, or TIBCO ActiveMatrix LogService application.

    The default is false.

  • Externalize properties — If this option is false, all data resides in data files. If this option is true, only the following object properties are externalized to a single properties file. The default is false.
    • Environment names
    • Host names
    • Node names

All the node, environment, and host names are externalized in one common file, the build.properties file, located at the root level of the exported archive.

The default value for these three options is false.

If you need to change certain names like Environment name in the source ActiveMatrix Administrator and the target ActiveMatrix Administrator, externalizing the Environment name in a single property file makes the change easy as you need to make the change only once.

Before running Import, you can change the name of any of the above objects and save lot of time editing multiple data files.

Note: During the Export process, nodes/environment/host names are used to create certain files and folders in an exported zip file. Externalizing these names and changing them subsequently has no impact on the file or folder names. They continue to use the old file or folder names. However, the Import process uses the value provided in the build.properties file.
