Exporting an Event Process

Event Process can be exported to local disk or to a server from the Offline Event Process Development perspective.

Exporting to Local Disk

To export an Event Process onto a local disk, perform the following steps:

1. Right-click the Event Process to be exported from the Event Process Repository view and click Export from the menu.

2. The Export Event Process dialog box which appears provides a list of all the Event Processes selected for exporting along with all the Event Processes referred to by this Event Process and also the named configurations used in those Event Processes. User can choose the artifacts to be exported by selecting the check boxes next to their names.

   If the exported Event Process has other Event Processes as dependencies and each of those Event Processes in turn have dependencies then all these Event Processes are exported along with their configurations in a chain manner into a single folder as that of the exported Event Porcess and the dependency chain is saved in a metadata file.
    
3. To change the default location (Desktop) to which the Event Process is saved, specify the file name and location to save and click OK. The Event Process project along with the dependencies and configurations chosen will be saved as a .zip file.

   • While exporting to a server, if an Event Process or a Configuration already exists on the Enterprise server, it is shown in Red color.
   • If a configuration used in an Event Process is missing from the Configuration Repository, the missing configurations will be indicated by a Red Cross across the configuration icon (  ).
4. Clicking Finish (figure above), a confirmation dialog pops up prompting whether the conflicting artifacts are to be overwritten or skipped. Choose the appropriate action.
