Only templates that have been created from the same Edition of Metalogix Content Matrix Console can be imported. For example, a job template from SharePoint Edition cannot be used in eRoom Edition or Public Folder Edition, it can only be imported into SharePoint Edition.

To import a job template:

1.In Metalogix Content Matrix's ribbon toolbar, switch to the Settings tab and click [Manage Job Configurations] button to display the Manage Job Configurations dialog.

2.Click the Import button at the top of the Manage Job Configurations dialog, navigate to the folder location for the template XML file, then click [Open].

The job template will be added to the list of templates in the Manage Job Configurations dialog. The template will be listed using the same Display name that was used when the task was created on the original system, and will not have its file name displayed.

The job template is now imported and can be applied to any migration.

From the Job List, you can export a job to an xml file.  This functionality allows you to:

·Copy a job from one instance of Metalogix Content Matrix to another (as long they are for the same Edition).

·Manually modify a job, then re-import it.

To export a job to an xml file:

1.In the Job List, select the job you want to export.

2.Right-click, and choose Export selected job to xml.

The xml file will automatically open in whatever program is set as the default application for xml files, and it can be saved to any desired location.

To import an xml file to the Job List:

1.Make sure the file you want to import uses a different ID value than any existing Jobs (this should only be an issue if the XML file was previously exported from the same Metalogix Content Matrix Console).

NOTE: If the xml file that is being imported contains the same ID value as an already existing Job, then the import will fail.

2.From the Job List menu, choose File > Import Jobs From Xml.

3.Select the xml file to import.

If the import is successful, the job will be listed in the Job List section.  If unsuccessful, an error message will be given.

NOTE:  The refresh is applied to whichever job list Metalogix Content Matrix is currently connected to, whether that is the Distributed Database (for the Distributed Migration feature) or via a standard connection.

To refresh the Job List:

1.From the Manage Queue dialog, select a job in the Job List.  The row selector icon and the highlighted row indicates the selected row.

2.From the Job List menu bar, choose File > Refresh.

If the status of the job has changed, the Status value will indicate the new status of the job.

If the Metalogix Content Matrix Console is configured for Distributed Migration, you can run a job remotely, on a Distributed Migration agent machine.
