IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.+            

IBM Enterprise Records Transfer tool

The IBM® Enterprise Records Transfer tool is a stand-alone utility that allows you to transfer record folders and records to an external system, such as the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), or to any system that uses the Department of Defense version 3 (DoD V3) XML schema format. In export mode, the IBM Enterprise Records Transfer tool creates XML files, a DTD file, and a schema XSD file.

The XML files have the following format:

'R' | 'F'_prefix_{guid}_suffix.xml

For example: R_ABC_{2c94752B-4A3B-B0AC-9F72-71FBE8A2EE2D}.xml

The tool generates the DTD file and places it into the specified output directory, with the following format: FNRMUserDefined_exportMappingName.dtd

where exportMappingName is the name of the mapping object selected during configuration of the IBM Enterprise Records Transfer tool.

The XSD file is used for reference during the import process.

To configure the IBM Enterprise Records Transfer tool, see Configuring the IBM Enterprise Records Transfer tool.

After you configure the tool and run it in export mode to create the XML, DTD, and XSD files, run the tool in import mode to complete the transfer of record folders and records to an external system. See Importing records and record folders.

Attention: The IBM Enterprise Records Transfer tool is distinct from the Transfer action resulting from a workflow. For more information about the Transfer action in a workflow, see Two-step Transfer workflow.
