Using Wildcards

You can use wildcards to enter selection criteria for the object. For example, enter AD* in the Name field for Console to export the Console AD and all those beginning with the prefix AD. Enter * in the field to export all Consoles.

Abnormal Termination of Export

Export can terminate abnormally for several reasons:

• You are attempting to export an object type with a related object that is not available.

If Location is NAT:

• You could be attempting to write more than 99 members or to select more than 99 object types (there is no limitation, if Location is SEQ).

• Natural Security is installed, but

  • the Library to which you are exporting is not a STEPLIB to SYSNCLIE;

  • you are not authorized for the Library to which you are exporting.

• The Library to which you are exporting must not contain a member with the prefix EVDIR. This prefix is reserved for internal administration.
