Archives
A PRPC archive is a specially formatted ZIP or JAR file created using the Export landing page tab. It contains an XML file named with the handle of each instance. In addition to XML representations of instances, the archive contains a control file and may contain SQL scripts and an installation activity.
Creating a ZIP archive
- To create an archive file, select
> Application > Import & Export > Export. - To create an archive file containing work items to be purged from the system, use the Purge/Archive wizards. Select > System > Tools > Purge/Archive Configure to start this process. The ZIP file contains work items, work item history, and attachments that can be imported into another system.
- To create an archive file containing work items, work item history, and attachments, use the Package Work wizard. Select > Application > Import and Export > Package.
Importing a ZIP archive
To import a ZIP file, select > Application > Import and Export > Import.
Automating archive operations
You can automate ZIP file operations and run them on a schedule using the Product Migration wizard. To start that wizard, select > System > Tools > Migrate Product.
Command line operations
By calling the export option of the prpcutils command-line utility, you can create ZIP archives from product rules using a UNIX shell script or Windows BAT file. You can find these scripts in the scripts/utils subdirectory of your PRPC software distribution. See the Readme.txt file in that directory and the PDN.
