EXPORT
The EXPORT command prepares a staging area to be exported to another system. EXPORT -
together with IMPORT - provides a standardized method of patch/software distribution.
Three EXPORT options are currently supported (see the Parameters description).
Syntax
EXPORT [STAGE=] stage_name [;{NOPACK}]
{TAPE }
{PACK }
Parameters
[STAGE=]stage_name (required)
The name of the staging area to be exported.
[;{NOPACK}] (optional)
{TAPE }
{PACK }
Default: NOPACK
The export option to be used. Three options are currently supported:
NOPACK—All files belonging to the staging area are simply copied to the Export
directory (/SYS/hpstage/export/). From here the files can be moved to the Import
directory (/SYS/hpstage/import/) on the target machine in any way you choose. The
staging area can then be accepted into that HP Stage/iX environment via the IMPORT
;NOUNPACK command.
TAPE—The staging area directory is written to tape via STORE. The staging area can
then be accepted into the target system’s HP Stage/iX environment via the IMPORT
;TAPE command.
PACK—The staging area is packaged into a single file in the Export directory under the
name of the staging area (/SYS/hpstage/export/stage_name). This file can then be
moved to the Import directory (/SYS/hpstage/import/) on the target system using
either tape or a network transport utility (for example, FTP) and accepted into the HP
Stage/iX environment via IMPORT ;UNPACK.
