    Dear All,

     

    What is the procedure to import/export forms in Service Catalog 14.1

     

    I am not able to use the same cmd used in 12.7 for exporting forms into .xml

     

    Thank you,

    Divya Arunachalam

    Hello Divya,

     

    In 14.1 you can now use the GUI to import/export data like forms. You can do this from Administration > Tools > Import Export Utility.

     

    Please check the following link for further details:

    Good Afternoon Divya.
     
    You can export forms (and services and 'other objects' through the CA Service Catalog(SC) R14.1 UI.
     
    The procedure then is:
    1. Login to the SC-UI
    2. Chose Administration/Tools
    3. Chose Export > Object Type: Form
    4. Enter name of the folder or the form name
    5. Hit the 'Start Export' button
     
    Thanks and kind regards, Louis van Amelsfort.

    In addition to the excellent advice here on how to export through the UI, the "ixutil" command still exists in the USM_HOME\scripts folder, just as it always did. All that's changed is the syntax:

     

        ixutil import form [-f file] [-format xml] [-cawf -businessunit id] [-contentpack name] [-modified_only] [-disallow_duplicates]


        ixutil export form [-f file] [-format xml,json] [-folder foldername][-form formname] [-businessunit id]

     

    While I'd generally recommend using the UI now it's available, sometimes it's handy to script the process using the command line.
