Step 7: Running the export

The seventh step of exporting content is to actually run the export. The wizard step displays the settings of this export.

Procedure

  1. If you expect to run this export again, or another export with similar settings, consider saving your current export settings to a file. To do so:
    • Click Save configuration. A Save As dialog appears, suggesting a location and name for the settings file.
    • Change the location and/or the filename as needed and click Save. The dialog closes.
    You have now saved your export settings to a file for reuse.
  2. Click Start to start the export. A new screen appears showing the progress of the export process. When the export finishes, click Next.
    A result screen appears, informing you of the successful and failed items.
  3. Click Finish.
    The wizard returns you to the start screen of the Content Porter client.

Results

Depending on the outcome of the export process, do one of the following:

  • If the export process was successful, your next step is to import the export package into a destination Content Manager.
  • If the export process resulted in failed items, examine the export log file to see why items failed to export, fix the problems, delete the package, and run the export again.
