Importing and exporting templates

The template import/export functionality allows you to:

  • Export templates into a self-contained archive, and
  • Import templates that were previously exported or saved to a self-contained archive.

Specifically, the export command downloads a ZIP archive to your computer; import uploads a ZIP archive to the Marketing OperationsDistributed Marketing server.

Note: The Marketing OperationsDistributed Marketing installation does not install the IBM® example templates. If you want to use the examples, you need to import them. For details about the example templates, see List of example templates.

You can use the import and export commands to create a portable archive. For example, you can export all of your templates from a test server after you verify that they work correctly, then import them to a production server.

Note: If you localized roles, they are exported/imported to/from the archive as well.
