IBM SC34-4499-03 manual Exporting Envy components to TeamConnection, Replace existing les

Replace existing ®les

Files that currently exist in the target directory are automatically overwritten.

Export page

The Export page provides default settings options for exporting ENVY components or ®les to a TeamConnection database.

Storage in TeamConnection

The Component ®eld identi®es the TeamConnection target component for your export action. This component designation, along with TeamConnection family, release, and work area values supplied in the Context page of the Default Properties notebook, is necessary to de®ne the context for any new TeamConnection parts created by an export action.

Con®guration Maps

If the Export all required maps too checkbox is checked, it speci®es that when a con®guration map is exported, its required con®guration maps (along with any other required con®guration maps, recursively) should be exported TeamConnection. If this option is enabled, and a con®guration map being exported does have required maps, the maps can only be exported if they actually exist in the TeamConnection database.

This option is used to prevent version mismatches when a con®guration map requires other con®guration maps, as in the following case:

1.For a con®guration map that requires other con®guration maps, you do an export with the required maps.

2.At some later time, you export again without the required maps.

3.When you attempt to import with the required maps, the import may fail, because a con®guration map level in TeamConnection does not match the level previously exported from ENVY.

Note: The checkbox is checked as the default.

Exporting ENVY components to TeamConnection

The TeamConnection Bridge cascade menu provides an Export choice, which offers the following choices:

vCon®guration Maps

vApplications

vFiles

Note: You must have the appropriate authority to update all parts associated with the con®guration maps, applications, or ®les to be exported.

As a general rule, it is advisable to export applications and con®guration maps along with any con®guration maps required by these ENVY components to avoid version
