Use

You can use the Export function under Transfer in transaction STMA in order to export a proposal pool for a specific source and target language combination. The system exports the proposal pool to the file and directory that you specify and you can then import this proposal pool to a new translation system.

Procedure

  1. Call up transaction STMA.
  2. Select the Source language and Target language of the proposal pool you want to export.
  3. Choose Transfer ® Export.
  4. Under Export mode, you need to specify one of the following export options:

This option exports all existing entries in the proposal pool to the file you specify.

This option exports only those proposals created/changed since a specific date that you can enter in the field that appears next to the Export mode field.

This option exports only those entries flagged for automatic distribution. This export mode is useful for making a backup of all proposals flagged for automatic distribution, or for calculating the number of flagged proposals.

If you choose this export mode, only entries in the proposal pool with usage counter 0 will be exported. This export mode is useful for making a backup of all proposals that are not currently used as translations in the system (for example, if you plan to delete them), or for calculating the number of unused proposals.
  1. Under Export options, you can make the following settings:

If you choose this option, an export does not take place. Instead the system calculates the volume (for example, the total number of entries, the number of unused entries, the number of entries flagged for automatic distribution, depending on your export mode).
  1. Under Target release, you need to specify the following:

If you are exporting the proposal pool with a view to importing it to a system with a lower release level (for example 3.1H), you need to specify the release level of the target system in this field. This ensures that certain flags are set so that the target system can cope with the increased functionality from the source system. Either choose 3.1H to 4.0B or 4.5A or higher in this field.
  1. Under File system, you need to specify the following

Enter the name of the directory to which you wish to export the proposal pool.

Enter the name of the file to which you want the proposal pool to be written in the field.
  1. Choose Check to check the consistency of your entries. If the system displays the message Export file can be created, you can schedule the export run.
  2. Choose Schedule

The system displays the dialog box Start Time, which offers you further selection options.
  1. Choose either Immediate or schedule the job to run at night, by choosing Date/Time.

You can also schedule the run to start after a particular job or an event, by choosing After job or After event.

At operation mode refers to daytime or nighttime operation.
  1. Save your entries.

The system displays a dialog box in which you can enter a printer name.
  1. Enter a printer name in the Output device field and choose Continue.

    2. The system displays a dialog box in which you can enter a background server on which you want the export to run.

  2. Select a background server and choose Choose

The system asks you if you want to schedule the job. Choose Yes.

Result

The system exports the contents of the proposal pool to the file you specified. You can view the status of the export run by choosing Run administration.

You can also view a log of the results of the export, during and after the export. For more information, see Transfer Logs.
