Exporting a Repository

Exporting a Repository

To export a repository as a creation change list:
  1. Start the
    Repository Manager
     tool.
  2. Click the
    Export
     tab, if it is not already selected.
  3. Select a repository to export from the drop-down list.
    Repository Manager
     allows you to use a repository only after it has been validated and found to be free of Errors, and FATAL issues.
  4. Click the
    Save
     button.
    Repository Manager
     displays the Export Repository dialog.
  5. Navigate to the target directory where you will save the change list XML file.
  6. Specify the following information about the repository.
    Field
    Description
    Name
    Logical name for this change list file. This value will be stored in the <name> tag of the change list XML file.
    Description
    Description of this change list file. This value will be stored in the <description> tag of the change list XML file.
    File Name
    Name of the change list file to save.
    Repository Manager
     will add an extension to this file (*.change.xml).
  7. Click
    Export
    .
    The
    Repository Manager
     saves the specified change list file, displaying a progress bar while writing to the target location.
  8. You can open the change list XML file in an editor to review its contents.
    The specific name and description, along with a time stamp, file name, and other information, is saved as attributes to the <changelist> element.
    After you have created an export file and before using the file for import or promotion operations, you can edit the file, rename design objects, delete extraneous sections, and make other changes as needed. However, Informatica is not responsible for any consequences resulting from XML files that you have modified in this way.
