Export Lifecycle

The following diagram describes the lifecycle of a Migration Data Set Export (data set).

Migration Data Set Export Lifecycle

The following points describe the lifecycle.

When the process is marked as Exported, the export file can be imported into the target system.

Note: The export process creates a file, providing the benefits of having a standalone file. It can be stored in a version control system for audit purposes or provided to others for import purposes.
CAUTION:
Under no circumstances should exported data files be edited manually. Doing so could cause data corruption when the file is applied to the target environment.
Note: The export functionality is supported using the business object Migration Data Set Export (F1-MigrDataSetExport). The expectation is that implementations will use the delivered base business object and its logic and will have no reason to implement a custom business object for the CMA export process.
