Extracting Application Elements

You can extract application elements, view and modify the information in a text editor, and then reload the elements into the application. This can be useful if you need to make updates to multiple files simultaneously. You can extract individual files, select multiple files to extract, or extract all files at once.

Application element files must use a specific file format, and several options are available for the extract process. See these sections:

• Extracting Application Security

• Extracting Metadata

• Extracting Member Lists

• Extracting Rules

When the extract process is complete, a link displays for the log so that you can view any errors.

To extract application elements:

1. Open an application.
2. Select Consolidation, then Extract, and then Application Elements.
3. Specify options for the extract process.
4. Click Extract to extract individual files or click Extract All.
5. Click Download to download the extracted file.
6. Optional: To download the log file, click Download Log. Click Open to display the log file, or Save and select a location to save the file locally.
