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.

NOTE  The use of Enterprise Manager or its related command-line tool to create an export manifest, or to export or import objects, is deprecated and it is recommended that you use FileNet Deployment Manager instead for these operations. For more information, see Exporting and importing.

The following sections show you three methods you can use to add objects to the export manifest:

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

  1. In the navigation tree, expand the object stores node.
  2. Right-click object store name and click All Tasks > Add to Export Manifest. All objects contained in the object store are automatically added to the export manifest.

To add a specific object to an export manifest

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

    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 click Add to Export Manifest. 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.

    You can 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 navigation tree, expand Object Stores > object store.
  2. Right-click the object type you want to add and click All Tasks > Add to Export Manifest.

    For example, to add document classes and subclasses to the export manifest, right-click Document Classes and click All Tasks > Add to Export Manifest.

    You can 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 window.

    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.
