Performing a partial export

Use this procedure to selectively export object types and generate a Java™ archive (JAR) file containing the export data.

Ensure that you identified all the dependencies needed for the objects to export.

The JAR file that is generated by this task includes a full extract of the exportable object types specified. The extract includes their dependencies and references to containers.

We can search for and select the following object types and include them in a partial export JAR file.

• Group
• Identity policy
• Lifecycle operation

• Organizational role
• Password policy
• Provisioning policy
