Exporting Metadata

Procedure

  1. Place the request XML (similar to CatalogInput-OutputMap-Sample-CopyMetaData-Request.xml) in the directory accessible by FileWatcher.
  2. Ensure that the object name specified in the request XML exists in the source enterprise.
  3. FileWatcher initiates the copy metadata process using the request XML.
  4. The system parses the request XML.
  5. The system exports metadata object into the response XML file.
  6. This response XML is generated and packaged in a jar file.
  7. The Jar file is placed in the work directory.

Result

Note: The export process ends abruptly if:
  • You try to export an object on the source enterprise.
  • If the object does not exist on the source enterprise. It starts exporting the next object specified in the request XML.
