Introduction to Export and Import of Registry Objects
CentraSite enables you to export registry objects from a registry to an archive and then import these registry objects from the archived file into the same registry or to another instance of CentraSite.
Note: Export and Import feature is designed specifically for exporting selected objects from the registry and not for backing up the entire instance of the CentraSite registry or repository.
You can select the following native CentraSite objects for export:
Organizations
Note: By exporting an organization, it is possible to export and import the associated users, groups, roles, and permissions.
Asset Types (definitions)
Taxonomies
Lifecycle Models
Design-Time Policies
Assets (instances)
Run-Time Policies
Report Templates
In addition, you can select the following asset types belonging to other components of the webMethods Product Suite for export:
BPM Process Project
Integration Server Package
Important: When you export an object, CentraSite generally exports a number of additional objects besides the one you select. The specific set of objects that CentraSite exports with an object varies by object type. After CentraSite completes the export process, it generates a report that identifies each of the objects that it attempted to export and indicates whether or not the object was exported successfully. The export report also identifies all referenced objects that were omitted from the archive file.
