Export data to XML files with MIF

This entry is part 5 of 14 in the series Import Data with MIF

Exporting data with the Integration Framework is a lot easier than importing data.  When importing data, we use “Enterprise Services”, but for exporting data we need to use “Publish Channels”.  Of course they are both based on Object Structures.  Out of the box, Maximo provides plenty of Publish Channels and Enterprise Services to satisfy most of our needs.  So for this tutorial, I will show you how to export ITEMS to an XML file.

What you will learn:

  • Setup integration framework global directory
  • Export data to XML file
  • Export data that is formatted correctly (readable)

      Did you enable those channels in the external system?

      • Janhavi

        yes i enabled them, even i created new external system n tried it but still same problem.

    Hi Chon,
    Is it possible to export a workflow using MIF to an XML file? Cause I can’t find on Object Structure for workflows (there’s only one, which is consumed by the Migration Manager).
    Thanks!

      I think you might be able to create your own object. I’m not sure though

      • forozco

        So… I guess the “common” way to do it should be through Migration Manager right?

    I need to send an XML for CI object, when it gets updated or new record is created. To be more specific all the new records and the updated records should form into one single xml and should be exported on a daily basis.
