Exporting Metadata Using UI (Wizard Approach)

After you are done with selection of all business objects, you can export the selected metadata.

Procedure

  1. Click Export button on the Export Configuration Summary.

    The Export process starts. After the event is Success, the Download link appears in the Export Profile Zip File column on the Export Profiles screen.

    Note:
    • If the datasource that a input map is using is deleted, the input map is not listed in the wizard and cannot be exported.
    • If the synchronization format that an output map is using is deleted, the output map is not listed in the wizard and cannot be exported.
  2. Click the Download link. The File Download dialog is displayed.
  3. Click the Save button to save the ZIP file. You can save the file in the source or the destination company. The ZIP filename is ZIP_profileID_timestamp.randomID.zip. For example, ZIP_111_2012-10-26_11_13_16.150.zip.

    By default, the ZIP folder contains the following files:

    • DataServiceQuery XML file
    • Rulebase.properties file
    • Repository schema file

      If you have selected the business objects, the selected datasource, workflow, map, form, and rulebase files also appear in the ZIP folder.
