Protection of Objects During Import and Export 

Use

A protection mechanism during the export and import process prevents you from overwriting portal system objects and initial content provided by SAP (objects in namespace com.sap.portals, com.sap.km, and com.sap.netweaver.bc) with obsolete versions.

Features

·        At export: System objects and content objects with the namespace prefixes com.sap.portals*, com.sap.km*, or com.sap.netweaver.bc* are automatically excluded from the export package and therefore not exported.

·        At import: If there are content objects with the namespace prefixes com.sap.portals*, com.sap.km*, or com.sap.netweaver.bc* in a package, they are automatically excluded from the import.

Prerequisites

File pcdStartUp.installer.properties is delivered with the appropriate values for the Portal Content Directory (PCD) configuraiton to ensure this protection mechanism.

The following parameters are relevant:

Parameter	Value
Pcd.TransportApplication.Export.ExcludeSystemObjects	true
Pcd.TransportApplication.ProtectedNamespaces	prefixes com.sap.portals*, com.sap.km*, or com.sap.netweaver.bc*

Do not change these values in file pcdStartUp.installer.properties.
