Blueprint Management › Export Structure Classes

Export Structure Classes

An export utility is provided to export Structure Classes from one CA Configuration Automation implementation so it can be imported into another. The export utility extracts the Structure Classes, compresses, encrypts, and saves the Structure Classes data to a .jar file.

To export Structure Classes

1. Click the Management link, then click the Blueprints tab.

   The Blueprints tab page appears.

2. Click the Structure Classes link (below the main tabs)

   The Structure Classes page appears and lists all existing classes in the Structure Classes table.

3. Click the check box next to one or more Structure Classes that you want to export, then select Export Structure Classes from the Select Actions drop-down list.

   A File Download window prompts you for the location where you want to save the export .jar file.

   The file is assigned a default name using the following timestamp convention:

   FileStructureClass_Export_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.jar

   Where YYYY is the year, the first MM is the month, DD is the day, HH is the hour (using a 24-hour clock), the second MM is the minutes, and SS is the seconds. For example:

   FileStructureClass_Export_2010_01_06_13_59_57.jar

4. Click Save, specify the location, and then click OK.

   Note:  If you are using a Windows operating system, Windows may suggest saving the file as a .zip file. Ensure the .jar is included in the file name, and the Save As Type field is set to All Files.

   The Structure Class is saved in the specified location.
