Overview

POM provides a feature, in the user interface, to export and import schedule configuration data such as data retention limits, throttle limits, enable/disable flags, schedule times, notifications configuration, and so on.

This feature can be used in two ways:

Data exported on a specific environment can be imported back on a different environment without any modifications. This is a typical use case where the batch schedule on a certain environment, such as Stage, is set up and fine-tuned according to a customer's requirements. This includes specifying which jobs should or shouldn't run. It also includes specifying the times certain cycles or flows will start. It also includes specifying the e-mail addresses that will receive certain notifications and how long to keep those notification in the system before purging them.

Once the schedule is configured and fine-tuned (on Stage, for example) the export/import feature can be used to export the configurations from Stage and import them back into production.

Note:

The user has the option to export to a spreadsheet or a JSON file. In this first use case, it is recommended the user exports to a JSON file then imports it back into the other environment.
Data can be altered in the exported spreadsheet then imported back into the same environment. This is useful at provisioning time where an environment is first set up with the default batch schedule configuration. A user would then export the default configuration, then modify that configuration on the spreadsheet to conform to the customer's needs. The spreadsheet is then imported back into the same environment, applying the desired configurations.

Note:

When importing the spreadsheet on the Batch Administration screen, the user will have the option of importing job-related configuration or scheduler-related configuration (run times) or both. Refer to the "Batch Administration" section in the POM User Guide for more details.

This chapter describes each tab in the exported spreadsheet, along with the data on each sheet. It also indicates which fields can be modified.
