  2. Click the Export using forms, selected items and referenced items option.
  3. In the Available items section, specify this information:
    Type
    Select the type of object that is associated with the application or applet that you want to deploy.

    Click this button to display the filter results in the bottom panel of the Available Items section.
  4. From the filter results, select the items that you want to deploy. The selected items are automatically added to the Selected Items section.
    Note: You can also perform these actions:
    • Click Reset to remove the list of items in the Selected Items section.
    • Click Select All to select all the items in the filter results.
    • Click Deselect All to deselect all the items in the filter results.
  5. Optionally, in the Selected Items section, perform any of these actions:
    • Select Include application data to specify that any application data must be included in the scripts.
    • Click Remove selected to remove the items that are not needed.
    • Click Save to save the selected items into a file.
    • Click Load to load the saved file.
  6. In the Output field, specify the location in which the zip package with the scripted files is to be created.

    Use the ellipsis (…) button to the right of this field to navigate to and select the location you want.

    Note: The ellipsis button is not available in the web client or in a partial trust situation. However, you can specify a filename for the imported files. Web or partial trust needs a suggested name for download, but you can change it.
  7. Optionally, click Preview to review the complete list of items that can be scripted and exclude the referenced items that are not needed.
  8. Click Create Scripts.
The system creates all the selected script files and packages them into a zip file at the specified location.

To verify that the zip file has been correctly created, perform these actions:

  • Click View Log, and examine the output log for the operation.
  • Go to the designated output location and verify that the zip file is there and that it contains the expected script files.
