How to Export Files to Another System (Command Line)

Only files, not folders and Solaris boot images, can be exported.

1. Determine which files to export.

   For example, export the /web-server/apache/host1.bmft file to host2:/home/suzi.

2. Export the files:

   • Export a single file, relfilepath, from the repository as filepath.

     $ changemgr export [ -u username ] [ -p file ] relfilepath filepath

   • Export one or more files to the specified folder, dirpath, outside of the repository.

     $ changemgr export [ -u username ] [ -p file ] relfilepath ... dirpath

   dirpath

   Specifies an absolute or relative path to a directory. This directory is not within the Change Manager repository.

   filepath

   Specifies an absolute or relative path to a file. This file path is not within the Change Manager repository.

   relfilepath

   Specifies the path to a file, not including a folder, that is relative to the top of the Change Manager repository.

   For descriptions of the other options, see How to Create a Folder (Command Line).

/net/host2/home/suzi/host1.bmft

$ changemgr export /web-server/apache/host1.bmft \
/web-server/apache/host2.bmft /net/host2/home/suzi
