Exporting Products using ADM

Products can be Migrated from One Environment to Other using Either Workspace or through ADM

Here we will discuss on how to export products using ADM which includes little bit of usage of Workspace also.

Before exporting products from One Environment to Other Environment in either of the ways, make sure the Row_Ids and names of the products match in both the Environments. If you want to export complete structure of the products, make sure all child products, product classes and attributes have same name and row Id. Else products will be exported, but will not be imported correctly.

In order to avoid this, make sure we have one Product Master Environment.

Steps to Export products using ADM

• Navigate to Administration Product à Workspace Projects

• Click on New and Give any meaningful name for the project

• Navigate to Contents view under the project and add the products which are supposed to be migrated

• Navigate to Application Deployment Manager à Deployment Projects

• Create a new project and check Export to File Option

• Under Project Items, add a new record with following details

Column Name	Value
Data Type Name	Workspace Projects
Name	Any meaningful Name
Deployment Mode	Custom
Deployment Filter	[Name]='<Workspace Name>'[Full]='Y'

Note: Full=’Y’, exports full structure of the Product

• Save the record, Validate the Filter for validating the condition

• Click on Enable button to make the status of the project as Enabled

• Navigate to Application Deployment Manager à Deployment Sessions

• Create a new record and Select the Project which is created under Project Name LOV

• Save the record

• Once the record is saved, status code in the Session Transactions get changed to Filter Validated

• Click on Deploy,

• When system prompts for Export path where the file has to be exported, provide the path (it is the server path and not the local desktop path). It takes some time for the process to get completed

• Final Status of Export is displayed in Status field of Deployment Session.

If the Status of Deployment Session is Export Completed. It means file has been successfully generated.

The file will be generated with something like following name SessionID_ProjectName
