Any user with administrative privileges can export views,
queries, product groupings, and enumerations to create a content package.
These can then be deployed on any Rational® Engineering
Lifecycle Manager project where needed.
Each content type (views, queries, product groupings, or enumerations)
is exported as a .zip. The views, queries and product
groupings packages contain a text file describing the content type
and the time of export, and xml files for each object that has been
exported. The enumerations package contains a text file describing
the content type and the time of export, and a custom enumerations
file.
The .zip packages can be combined into content
packages if multiple content types need to be deployed to a project.
A content package can be deployed by following the instructions in Deploying a content export package.
