XCart Management

XPSExplorer includes the XCart feature. XCart allows you to collect the identifiers of the objects (XIDs) that you want to export and save them to a file for later use without manually copying and pasting each one. To use XPSExplorer, you must be an administrator with XPSExplorer rights.

To access XCart, enter X for XCart Management in the Main Menu of XPSExplorer. The XCart Menu opens and displays any objects that are in the XCart. The following options are context-sensitive and may or may not be displayed depending on the context:

• C - Clear cart.

  Empties the XCart.

• L - Load cart from file.
  • Initial load - Loads the XCart with the contents of the specified file and remembers the specified file name as the XCart file.
  • Subsequent loads - Adds the contents of the specified file to the XCart.

    Note: The name of the XCart file does not change.

• S - Save cart to file: xcart_file

  Saves the contents of the XCart to the XCart file.

Important! The S command overwrites the contents of the XCart file without prompting first.

• N - Save cart to new file.

  Saves the contents of the XCart to the specified file and remembers the specified file name as the XCart file.

  Note: The N Command prompts before overwriting the specified file.

Each object is tagged with an import mode that determines how it will be imported from the XPS file to the policy store:

• A - Set import mode to ADD.

  Adds new objects; does not replace existing objects.

• O - Set import mode to OVERLAY.

  Replaces existing objects; does not add new objects.

• R - Set import mode to REPLACE.

  Replaces existing objects and adds new objects.

• D - Set import mode to default.

  Specifies the default import mode.

  Note: For each product class, there is a default import mode defined in the product's data dictionary.

• Q - Quit

  Exits the XCart Menu and returns to the Main Menu.
