Add objects to an export manifest
You can add objects to an export manifest by using the Add
to Export Manifest command, available through the MMC Action menu, the pop-up menu, and a toolbar icon. When
you add objects to the export manifest, Enterprise Manager automatically
displays them under the appropriate object type node. You do not need to refresh
the object store to see the new entries.
The following sections show you three methods you can use to add objects to the
export manifest by using the pop-up menu:
To add all objects contained
in an object store to an export manifest
- In the tree view, expand the Object Stores node.
- Right-click object store name and select All Tasks
> Add to Export Manifest from the pop-up menu. All objects contained in the object store are automatically
added to the export manifest.
To add a specific object to an export manifest
- In the tree view, expand Object Stores > object store name.
- In the details pane, right-click the specific object and select Add
to Export Manifest from the pop-up menu.
For example, if you want to add a specific choice list to the export manifest,
select the choice list in the details pane.
Right-click the specific choice list and select Add to Export Manifest from
the pop-up menu. The Include Options window opens with the Include
all associated objects radio button preselected. This option adds the
selected object, such as Choice Lists, and all objects associated with it
to the Export Manifest.
NOTE You can also limit the objects included on
the export manifest. For details, see Choose
objects to include.
- Click OK to accept the selections on the
Include Options screen.
To add a specific type
of object to the export manifest
- In the tree view, expand Object Stores > object
store.
- Right-click the object type you want to add and select All
Tasks > Add to Export Manifest from the pop-up menu.
For example, to add document classes and subclasses to the export manifest,
right Click Document Classes and select All
Tasks > Add to Export Manifest from the pop-up menu.
NOTE You can also limit the objects included on
the export manifest. For details, see Choose
objects to include.
- Click OK to accept the selections on the
Include Options screen.
For class definitions, folders, or other objects with hierarchies, you can
add the object to the export manifest or choose an additional option: Add
to Export Manifest (include subclasses and subfolders). This adds the entire
hierarchy, including the selected object and everything below it. You can
still use the Include Options window to further customize the objects
you add to the export manifest.
