Choose objects to include on export manifest

Each time you add an object or object type to the export manifest, the Include Options window opens. Use the Options window to customize the list of associated objects you are adding to the export manifest.

NOTE  Some objects have associated objects (such as metadata or relationship objects) that are hidden from view in Enterprise Manager. This prevents you from choosing those objects to add them individually to the export manifest. Therefore, it's important to include those associated objects when you add the object to the export manifest. However, if an export manifest or the target object store already contains those associated objects (through previous exports and imports), you do not need to add those associated objects again.

For details, see the following topics:

After you click OK, Enterprise Manager performs the following tasks:

NOTE  If you select Do not show me this dialog box for this object again, Enterprise Manager uses the currently selected include options next time you add that kind of object to the export manifest, and does not display the window. You can re-enable this screen by changing the user preferences for the export manifest. For details, see Change user preferences for include options.

Include Options

By default, the system adds all objects dependent on or referenced by the object you're adding to the export manifest. To eliminate some or all of the associated objects, select one of the other two options. For details, see the following topics:

Include all associated objects
Select this option to include all associated objects when the system adds the selected object to the export manifest.

NOTE  This is the default option. Selecting this option makes all options listed below Customized Includes unavailable. Instead, the export tool includes all preselected options.

Do not include any associated objects
Select this option to eliminate all associated objects when the system adds the selected object to the export manifest.

NOTE  Selecting this option clears all options listed below Customized Includes and makes them unavailable.

Select associated objects to be included manually
Select this option to enable the Customized Includes options, from which you can select the associated objects you want to include in the manifest.
Customized Includes
If you are manually selecting associated objects to include on the export manifest, select the associated options for the selected object or type of object. To prevent an associated object from being added to the export manifest, clear the corresponding check box. The following paragraphs describe these options:
Include documents and custom objects in folders
Adds to the export manifest all documents and objects filed in selected folders and subfolders. This option applies only to folders.
Include all document versions
Adds to the export manifest the entire document version series. This option applies only to objects assigned to a document class, such as documents or workflow definitions.
Include annotations on folders, documents, and custom objects
Adds to the export manifest any annotations associated with selected folders, documents, and custom objects. This option applies only to folders and objects assigned to a document class, such as documents or workflow definitions.
Include event subscriptions attached to objects
Adds to the export manifest event subscriptions associated with the objects on the export manifest. This applies to all object types.
Include event actions associated with subscriptions
Adds to the export manifest event actions associated with the selected objects. This applies to all object types that have subscriptions associated with them.
Include lifecycle policies attached to objects
Adds to the export manifest all lifecycle policies associated with documents on the export manifest. This option applies only to objects assigned to a document class, such as documents or workflow definitions.
Include lifecycle actions attached to lifecycle policies
Adds to the export manifest all lifecycle actions associated with selected lifecycle policies. This option applies only to objects assigned to a document class, such as documents or workflow definitions.
Include non-system object classes
Adds to the export manifest any user-defined classes. This applies to all classes created by the user— not FileNet P8-provided classes.
Include modified system classes
Adds to the export manifest any modified FileNet P8-provided object classes. By default, this option is not selected because users do not typically modify FileNet P8-provided classes. However, if you have added custom properties or changed security permissions on the FileNet P8-provided classes, select this option.
Include property templates on classes
Adds to the export manifest any properties in a selected class. This applies to all object types, except for choice lists and other property templates.
Include choice lists on property templates
Adds to the export manifest any choice lists for the property to the export manifest. This applies to all object types except for other choice lists.
Include referential containment relationships between folders, docs, and custom objects
Adds to the export manifest any referential containment relationship (DRCR) objects between folders. If the DRCRs are not included and Include documents in the folders is enabled, the exporter still exports the documents and custom objects associated with a folder and files them in folders when imported into a target object store. Selecting this option adds the relationships between folders and other folders or between folders, documents, and custom objects to the export manifest.
Include immediate user-defined object-valued properties
Adds to the export manifest any user-defined objects that use each object's property values. Otherwise, the export manifest includes only object references (GUIDs). This option does not include FileNet P8-provided objects. Selecting this option includes property values for immediate objects only—not any nested objects.
Include security policies
Adds to the export manifest any security policies associated with the objects. Security policies contain security templates that you can use to manage security applied to documents, folders, and custom objects.
Include compound document components
Adds to the export manifest any compound documents (and any links nested within the documents).
