To migrate the resource configuration for a packaged or universal resource, you export the resource configuration from the source Metadata Manager repository to a file. You can include rule sets and parameter definitions in the export file. You then import the file into the target Metadata Manager repository.
If you export the resource configuration without the rule sets and parameter definitions, Metadata Manager creates a resource configuration file with the .rcf extension that defines the resource properties and values. If you include rule sets and parameter definitions, Metadata Manager creates a compressed file with the .rcz extension. The compressed file contains the resource configuration file, rule set files, rule set parameter files, and all data and parameter files that are associated with the resource.
When you import the .rcf or .rcz file, Metadata Manager creates the resource if it does not exist. If the resource exists, Metadata Manager updates the resource configuration.
