The task is used to export resource, translator, and language definitions to an Ant build script. The build script that is created by can be run on the same EWM® system as a backup mechanism to restore system definitions or on a different EWM system as a mechanism to transfer system definitions from one system to another.
When you run the build script on the same system after deleting system definitions, or on a new system, a new set of system definitions is created. These new system definitions have the same attributes as the original system definitions, but they have different universally unique identifiers (UUIDs). You must associate your files and folders with these new system definitions by running the resolveMetadata task in each SCM project containing source files.
The following table describes the task specific attributes for the task:
| Task Specific Attributes | ||
