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
- In the tree view, expand the Object Stores node.
- 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
- 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 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.
- 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 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.
- 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.
