Issue/Introduction

In order to backup the Software Library from a Client Automation's Domain Manager or to move SD Package from one server to another, there are 2 ways to do it, which are explained in this document.,

Environment

Client Automation 14.5 and above

Resolution

First option available is to use DSM Explorer, from which, going directly to the desired package the Export option can be selected:

The second option is to use the CADSMCMD command line interface, which is useful if it's required to not use GUI.

The command line that can be used is:

cadsmcmd swlibrary action=export item=“Package Name” version="1.0" path=“C:\PathToExport"

Once the command runs, it’ll generate 2 folder in the selected path, one with the binaries of the Package and the second with the Definition (“reginfo”) which can be used later for the import process:

In order to import this package, the following command can be used:

cadsmcmd aregsw reginfo="C:\ExportPath\PackageName\reginfo" path="C:\ExportPath\PackageName"
