Exporting an event action plan

This topic describes how to export an event action plan. You can export an event action plan for use on another management server or for viewing in HTML or XML.

With the Event Action Plan Builder, you can export event action plans to files. You can export event action plans from IBM® Director Server to three types of files:
Archive
Copies the selected event action plan to a file that you can import to any management server.
You might export event action plans in archive format for two reasons:
  • To move event action plans from one management server to another
  • To back up event action plans on a management server
HTML
Creates a detailed listing of the selected event action plans, including their filters and actions, in a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format.
XML
Creates a detailed listing of the selected event action plans, including their filters and actions, in an XML format.

Complete the following steps to export an event action plan:

  1. In IBM Director Console, click Tasks > Event Action Plan Builder.
  2. In the Event Action Plan pane of the Event Action Plan Builder window, click the event action plan that you want to export.
  3. Click File > Export, and select the type of file to which you want to export. Depending on which type of file you select, the applicable window opens (for example, if you select Archive, the Select Archive File for Export window opens).
  4. Type a file name and, if necessary, change the location where you want to save the file. Click OK to export.
