Extracting UC4 data to XML using the UC4 Explorer

This procedure describes how to use the Export function in UC4 Explorer. Before converting UC4 data you need to export your list of objects to XML files.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

• You have at least the same Service Pack version installed as the source system (XML file).
• Do not use this export function for mass transports. For more information, see the UC4 Administration Guide.
• The UC4 administrator can limit the maximum number of objects that should be exported at one time. Use the key "MAX_EXPORT_COUNT" in the UC4 Variable UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS for this purpose.

To extract UC4 data to an XML file:

1. From the UC4 Explorer, do one of the following:
   • Export objects with the same type to one file, as described in Extracting objects with the same type to one file.
   • Export each object to separate files, as described in Exporting objects to separate files

   NOTE: If you want to export the data only one time, use the Search tool to select all objects of a particular type, select them all and export them.

2. After exporting data to XML, open the Conversion Tool and import the XML files, as described in Defining a new CA Automic (UC4) conversion project.
