Exporting Assets Using My webMethods

To export assets using My webMethods

1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > B2B > Asset Management > Export.

2. From the TN Server list, select the Trading Networks Server instance from which to export assets.

3. If you want to export all Trading Networks assets, select the Select all assets check box.

4. To select assets by asset type, click the tab whose name corresponds to the asset type.

Note:
The Partner Profile tab lists each partner, including your corporation, by corporation name.

5. Do the following in each tab:

a. If you want to export all assets of this type, select the Select all check box.

b. If you want to export only certain assets, type a string to find those assets in the Keywords field and click Search. Trading Networks searches the same fields it searches when you search for assets (see Searching Using Keywords (Simple Search)). In the search results, do the following to create the list of assets to export:

The following table describes the types of actions:

Action to Perform	Description
Add an asset	Select the asset’s check box and click Add to Export.
Remove all assets on the tab	Click Remove from Export.
Remove all assets	Click Clear. Clear is a global command, which clears all the assets selected for export. Remove From Import removes the selected assets from only the selected asset type. It does not remove all the selected assets from the other asset types.

If you want to also export the dependent assets of the selected assets because they do not exist on the target machine, click Add Dependencies.

If you want to navigate to another page after selecting assets for export, the state of the selected assets is maintained when you return to the Export page.

6. Click Continue. In the Export Summary panel, you can click the list button

for each asset type to see the list of assets on the export list. If you want to remove an asset, click the remove icon

7. Click Export and type the name to use for the export file. For Type, choose whether to create an XML or binary-encoded file type. You can read XML files and edit assets if necessary before import (for example, the name of a property), but they are a little slower to import than binary files. Binary files cannot be edited, but they offer better performance during the import. Click OK. Trading Networks generates the file with the name you specified and the extension .zip. Click Save to save the file to the file system.
