This tool does not support KCM
5.2, 5.3, and 5.4.To export, follow these steps:
-
Export the content from the source B&OM installation into a single zip file using the ExportOutputManagementContent.exe tool. It resides in the following folder: <deploy root>\KCM\Programs\<version>\Management\Output Management.
This tool is not an alternative to the regular Transfer Jobs option accessible from KCM Studio. -
Copy the .zip file from the machine of the source B&OM installation to the machine of the target B&OM installation.
-
Stop the target B&OM installation, with the StopOutputManagement.exe tool.
-
Start the target B&OM installation again using the StartOutputManagement.exe tool and use the OutputManagement!ImportContentFile and OutputManagement!ImportExistingSystems parameters to import parts of the exported content while starting up.
This step is not available in KCM versions 5.6 and lower.
