You can use the content management service to import and export everything as a service (XaaS) content.
XaaS services are integrated with the API content management service, and all commands that work with
other content types also work with XaaS content. Though these XaaS services may be deprecated in a future
vRealize Automation release, they are still available for users to migrate XaaS content into
vRealize Automation.
