Transfering Objects
HOPEX allows you to transfer validated objects from one repository to another.
By default, only libraries can be transferred.
Other object types can however be transferred. To do this, you must first connect the corresponding MetaClass to the "Transfer Candidate Object" abstract MetaClass.Principle
Validated objects can be automatically transferred to another repository.
For more details on validation, see "Using the Validation Request Workflow".To be able to automatically transfer validated objects, you must first:
• create a transfer
• add the object to the transfer
Creating a Transfer

1. In the Repository Activity navigation window, expand the Transfer Management folder then the Transfer Folder sub-folder.
2. Right-click the Not Scheduled Transfers sub-folder and select New Transfer.
3. In the creation of transfer dialog box, select a transfer template if required and click Next.
4. In the transfer definition dialog box, enter the necessary elements if the transfer template has not already specified these.
• source repository
• target repository
• transferred object
5. Click Next.
6. If required, select a person to be informed in the Informed User frame.
7. Click Finish.
8. In the final dialog box, select the transfer execution mode:
• Execute at scheduled date (specifying date/time in the Scheduled Transfer Date Time field)
• Execute as soon as possible

Scheduling a Transfer
When the transfer has been created, you must schedule it.
To schedule a transfer (if not scheduled at the time of its creation):
1. In the Repository Activity dialog box, expand the sub-folder Transfer Management > Transfer Folder > Not Scheduled Transfers.
2. Right-click the transfer concerned and select Schedule Transfer.

You can schedule the transfer at object validation. Transfering the Object
The object can be transferred:

The object is transferred:

• at a time specified in transfer scheduling
The transfer is executed in the name of the person who saved the transfer.Managing Transfers and Transfer Templates

1. In the Repository Activity navigation window, expand the Transfer Management folder.
2. In the Transfer Folder sub-folder, you can view:
