Add objects to an export manifest

You can add objects to an export manifest using the Add to Export Manifest command, available through the MMC Action menu, the context 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 sectoins show you three methods you can use to add objects to the export manifest using the context menu:

To add all objects contained in an object store to an export manifest

  1. In the tree view, expand the Object Stores node.
  2. Right-click object store name and select All Tasks > Add to Export Manifest from the context menu. The system automatically adds all objects contained in the object store to the export manifest.

To add a specific object to an export manifest

  1. In the tree view, expand Object Stores > object store name.
  2. In the details pane, right-click the specific object and select Add to Export Manifest from the context menu.

    For example, if you want to add a specific choice list to the export manifest, select the desired choice list in the details pane.

    Right-click the specific choice list and select Add to Export Manifest from the context menu. The Include Options dialog box 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 may also limit the objects included on the export manifest. For details, see Choose objects to include.
  3. Click OK to accept the selections on the Include Options screen.

To add a specific type of object to the export manifest

  1. In the tree view, expand Object Stores > object store.
  2. Right-click the object type you want to add and select All Tasks > Add to Export Manifest from the context 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 context menu.
    NOTE   You may also limit the objects included on the export manifest. For details, see Choose objects to include.
  3. 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/subfolders). This adds the entire hierarchy, including the selected object and everything below it. You can still use the Include Options dialog box to further customize the objects you add to the export manifest.
