Exporting Objects

Exporting is the process or serializing a number of Objects that match an Export Rule Set into a CAR file. The exported CAR file can then be imported into other RunMyJobs instances.

Note: Some Objects are not exportable. These include process files, Operator Messages, events, and other runtime-specific Objects.

There are two ways to export Objects: exporting Objects directly, and exporting using an Export Rule Set.

Exporting Objects Directly

To export an Object or Objects directly, right-click the Object(s) and choose either Export > Export or Export > Export with related Objects. This option does not use Export Rule Sets, and simply exports the selected Objects into a CAR file, with or without its related Objects.

Exporting Objects with an Export Rule Set

To export a list of Objects and/or a set of Objects that match a set of criteria, you can use an Export Rule Set.

Exporting Directly with an Export Rule Set

To export an Object using an Export Rule Set:

  1. Create an Export Rule Set.

  2. Navigate to Configure > Deploy > Exports.

  3. Click New.

  4. Choose the Export Rule Set from the Export Rule Set dropdown list.

  5. Click Run. All Objects matching the selected Export Rule Set are exported into a CAR file.

Exporting with System_Export_RuleSet and an Export Rule Set

Alternatively, you can use an Export Rule Set as part of a System_Export_RuleSet Job run:

  1. Create an Export Rule Set.

  2. Navigate to Configure > Automate > Job Definitions.

  3. Locate the System_Export_RuleSet Job Definition, then right-click it and choose Run.

  4. On the Parameters screen, choose the Export Rule Set from the dropdown list.

  5. Choose the Remote System Object that represents the target RunMyJobs instance from the Remote System dropdown list.

  6. Click Run. All Objects matching the selected Export Rule Set are exported and sent to the target RunMyJobs instance.

Tip: After export, you can view the exported CAR file in the Files section of the Detail View for the export process.

Exporting a Folder

To export a Folder into a CAR file, navigate to Configure > Automate > Folders, then right-click the Folder and choose Export > Export or Export > Export with related objects.
