Commands

 
 
 

You can export, import, and validate files, items, and meta-data with the Vault Data Transfer Utility.

Export

The export command can be used to export items, files, folders, metadata, settings, etc. from the specified vault.

RemarqueRefer to the Supported Vault Behaviors table for more information.

While processing, errors and warnings are listed to provide additional feedback. An exported package contains the files, XML, and an optional log file.

The files are exported to the specified location.

Import

The import command imports the package information (such as files, folders, metadata, settings, etc.) into the specified vault. While processing, errors and warnings are listed to provide additional feedback.

Validate

The validate command has two main functions. The first is to examine the XML files for any formatting issues and to inform the user of the problem. The second is to compare the package data with that of the Vault you are importing/exporting. Below are two examples of the feedback provided by the validate command.

Example 1: XML File Has Formatting Issues

The package file has formatting issues on line 33. The user can open the XML and attempt to resolve the formatting error. The Validate command can be run again to ensure the package is ready for import.

Example 2: Comparing Package Data with Vault Data

A file category called "Custom" is referenced by files in the package but the definition can not be found in the vault.xml file or the Vault that it is being validated against.

Remarque If the custom definition was already created in the vault but is missing from the xml, the error is not reported.
