To export an analytic instance:

  1. Load the analytic instance.

    See Loading and Unloading Analytic Instances.

  2. In PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture, select PeopleTools, and then Utilities, and then Administration, and then Analytic Server Administration.

  3. Select the Export Instance tab.

  4. (Optional) Select whether to filter the loaded analytic instances, either by analytic type or by model name.

  5. Click the Search button to display the designated loaded analytic instances.

  6. Click the option button to the left of the analytic instance that you want to export.

    Although you can load multiple analytic instances, you can export only one at a time.

  7. Click the Export Instance button.

    The Export Result text box displays the status of the export operation. This message lists:

    • The instance name and whether it was exported successfully.

    • The export machine.

    • The export directory.

    • A message about the exportResults.txt file.

  8. Retrieve the exportResults.txt file for specific details on how to export this analytic instance.

  9. In PeopleSoft Application Designer, create a project that has the same name as the export directory that was created during the export procedure.

    Remember, the export process creates a directory whose name consists of the analytic instance name followed by the date and timestamp. For example, if the analytic instance is named ACEINST, the directory might be named ACEINST_20041113_015912.

    See Application Designer Developer’s Guide: Understanding Projects, Application Designer Developer’s Guide: Creating and Saving Projects.

  10. Select Insert, and then Definitions into Project and insert the items listed in the exportResults.txt file into the project.

  11. Save the project.

  12. Select Tools, and then Copy Project, and then To File.

  13. Select <PS_HOME>\appserv\<domain>\LOGS\<analytic instance><timestamp> as the export directory and then click the Copy button.

  14. Zip the contents of <PS_HOME>\appserv\<domain>\LOGS\<analytic instance><timestamp> and send it to PeopleSoft user support.
