The adTempus Import/Export facility allows you to copy data between adTempus servers. The following kinds of objects can be transferred:
Jobs
Shared Schedules
Holiday Sets
Shared Scripts
Script Libraries
When you export an object, any objects on which it depends are automatically exported. For example, when you export a job, any scripts, notification recipients, shared schedules, etc., that are used in the job are exported with it.
When you import data from a data file, adTempus checks each object to see if it already exists. If it does, the object already in adTempus is replaced if the object in the file has a later timestamp.

adTempus 3.0 and later use a different export format than previous versions of adTempus. adTempus 3.0 and later cannot import data exported from a version older than 3.0, and vice-versa. |
adTempus exports data in XML format. You can use an XML or text editor to make changes to an export file before importing it. However, you must be sure that the file still validates against the XML schema referenced by the document.
Though it is technically possible to use the import facility to create and configure jobs in adTempus, the facility was not designed for this purpose. If you need an automated method to create and configure jobs, you should use the adTempus API instead.
