You can export repository objects such as business rules, macros, sequences, variables and projects. You can also export any access privileges and database locations that you specified for them. You may want to export objects from the repository to use them as backup copies or to move them to another repository. You export repository objects to an xml file.

Click Test Connection to test the connection to the database. If the connection fails, make any necessary changes until you can connect successfully.
Click Connect to connect to the server.
If the connection is successful, the business rules, sequences, macros, variables, and projects that you can export are listed on the Business Rules, Sequences, Variables, Macros, and Projects tabs.
