EXPORTRM Utility—Export Definitions

The EXPORTRM utility exports one of the following types of definitions:

• A system image with the included resource definitions
• A service image with the included service definitions
• An EventView rule set with the included rules
• A class of common components

The utility does not support the selection of individual definitions.

The export data set must exist as a sequential file with a record length of at least 80 characters. You can use DISP=MOD to append multiple exports to a single data set.

This utility has the following format:

EXPORTRM DSNAME=data_set_name [DISP=MOD]
       {[OPT=IMAGE SYS=system_image_name VER=version] |
        [OPT=SERVICE VER=version] |
        [OPT=RULESET RULESET=rule_set_name] |
        [OPT=COMMON TYPE=component_type [VER=version]]}

DSNAME=data_set_name

Specifies the name of the export data set.

DISP=MOD

Appends the exported definitions to a data set that already has data. By default, the utility overwrites existing data.

Note: You can export only one type of component on each execution of the utility. With DISP=MOD, you can include the data from multiple executions of the command in the same data set.

OPT=IMAGE

Exports the specified system image and its resource definitions.

SYS=system_image_name

Specifies the name of the system image.

VER=version

Specifies the version of the system image.

OPT=SERVICE

Exports the specified service image and its service definitions.

VER=version

Specifies the version of the service image.

OPT=RULESET

Exports the specified rule set and its rule definitions.

RULESET=rule_set_name

Specifies the name of the rule set.

OPT=COMMON

Exports the specified components.

TYPE=component_name

Specifies one of the following types of components:

• AFILT for Alert Monitor filters
• ATTR for display attribute tables
• CCPROF for Consolidated Console profiles
• CMD for command definitions
• GPROCESS for global processes (Use VER to specify a version other than 0001.)
• ICON for icons
• ICONPANL for icon panel definitions
• MACRO for macro definitions
• PROFILE for user profile definitions
• PROMPT for field prompt lists
• RESGRP for resource groups
• SFILT for Status Monitor filters

Example: Export a System Image

This example exports a system image to the CO001.SOP001.KB251110 data set. If the data set contains data, the data is overwritten.

EXPORTRM DSNAME=CO001.SOP001.KB251110
         OPT=IMAGE SYS=SYS001 VER=0001

Example: Export Status Monitor Filters

This example exports the Status Monitor filters to the same data set used in the previous example, appending the new data.

EXPORTRM DSNAME=CO001.SOP001.KB251110 DISP=MOD
         OPT=COMMON TYPE=SFILT
