Export Dashboards

An export utility is provided to export new or custom Dashboards from a CA Configuration Automation implementation so it can be imported into another. The export utility extracts the data for the selected Dashboard, then saves the data to a .jar file.

To export Dashboards

1. Create a new or custom Dashboard as described in either of the following sections:
   • Create a New Dashboard
   • Create a Custom Dashboard
2. Right-click the new or custom Dashboard that you want to export, then select Export Dashboard from the menu that appears.

   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:

   Dashboard_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:

   Dashboard_Export_2010_01_06_13_59_57.jar

3. Click Save, specify the location, 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 Dashboard is saved in the specified location.
