export (Catalog Management)--Export a Catalog

Export an entire catalog

Syntax

cat export <catalog> <dir> [--force] [--nocompress] [ --preserve_acl | --preserve_local_acl ]  

Options

<catalog>

Name of catalog to be exported. May specify one of the following:

a) <application>/<catalog>

b) /<catalog>

<dir>

Name of exchange directory relative to /vol/_impex where catalog is to be exported to

--force

Option to allow exporting of catalog class even if it is already present (i.e., each class is removed and then exported)

--nocompress

Option to disable compression of volume images.

--preserve_acl

Preserve the global catalog ACL if it is present.

--preserve_local_acl

Preserve local principals in the global catalog ACL.

Examples

cat export my-app/local catalog

Export all classes from local catalog of application 'my-app'.

cat export /system catalog

Export all classes from global catalog.

Notes:

• By default global catalog ACL's are not preserved during export.
• The “--preserve_global_acl” argument is not useful on CA AppLogic for System z® as it does not yet support external directories. Providing “--preserve_global_acl” to “catalog export” will produce a warning but it will otherwise be ignored.
