Importing and Exporting Entities Overview

When importing or exporting, you can select a single entity, specific entities, or all entities of a certain type. For example, you can export a single product, selected products, or all products. If you export an entity, you can also choose to export its dependent entities (dependencies). For example, if you export an entitlement, and you select its dependencies, FlexNet Operations can also export the entitlement’s dependent product, features and other associated entities.

Permission to view an entity also includes permission to export it.

Important:Only the .jar package mechanism supports importing and exporting of feature bundles.
