Export Process
You can use the command line to export domain objects from a domain.
Perform the following tasks to export domain objects:
- 1. Determine the domain objects that you want to export.
- 2. If you do not want to export all domain objects, create an export control file to filter the objects that are exported.
- 3. Run the infacmd isp exportDomainObjects command to export the domain objects.
The command exports the domain objects to an export file. You can use this file to import the objects into another domain.
Rules and Guidelines for Exporting Domain Objects
Review the following rules and guidelines before you export domain objects:
- •When you export a user, by default, you do not export the user password. If you do not export the password, the administrator must reset the password for the user after the user is imported into the domain. However, when you run the infacmd isp exportDomainObjects command, you can choose to export an encrypted version of the password.
- •When you export a user, you do not export the associated groups of the user. If applicable, assign the user to the group after you import the user and group.
- •When you export a group, you export all sub-groups and users in the group.
- •You cannot export the Administrator user, the Administrator role, the Everyone group, or LDAP users or groups. To replicate LDAP users and groups in an Informatica domain, import the LDAP users and groups directly from the LDAP directory service.
- •To export native users and groups from domains of different versions, use the infacmd isp exportUsersAndGroups command.
- •When you export a connection, by default, you do not export the connection password. If you do not export the password, the administrator must reset the password for the connection after the connection is imported into the domain. However, when you run the infacmd isp exportDomainObjects command, you can choose to export an encrypted version of the password.
