Extracting an object store half map

After a source or a destination environment is defined, or after a deployment data set is created, you can extract its object store data to create an object store half map.

To extract object store names and IDs to the object store half map:

1. In the FileNet® Deployment Manager tree view pane, expand the Environments node and double-click an environment.
2. On the overview tab, click the Retrieve Data radio button for Object Store Data. Select one of the options for where to fetch the list of object stores used to populate the half map.

   Option	Description
   Deploy Dataset	Select this data source when you want to map object store data for deployment of objects to the destination environment. This data source option requires the fully qualified path to a deployment data set. For instructions on how to export to a data set from the Content Platform Engine, see Exporting assets to a deployment data set. In the Select Deploy Dataset File field, enter the fully qualified path of the deployment data set from which the data is extracted. If you attempt to extract object stores from the export of a workflow system configuration data, and there are no object stores, the object store half map is not altered.
   From Content Platform Engine	Select this data source to fetch all object stores from the Content Platform Engine that the environment is connected to. You can use this option if you expect that the objects you are exporting reference most of the object stores in the domain or the list of object stores is small.

3. Optional: If you are updating an existing object store half map, in the Retrieve Data for Object Store Half Map window, under Options, select from the following options:
   • Retrieve storage policies for each object store
   • Retrieve storage areas for each object store
4. Select the mode to use when the object store half map file is built.

   Option	Description
   Merge retrieved data with the existing half map	Adds any new object store data to the object store half map. If an item with the same ID is retrieved from the environment, existing data is updated with any changes. This option does not delete any data from the object store half map.
   Overwrite existing half map with retrieved data	Replaces the contents of the object store half map with the new data.

5. Click OK.
