Appajee, If I understand correctly the export options within the .Net API can include *everything*, for example when you export a Form the VUIs associated with the forms are also included in the export. Correct?
To put another way, if I exported all Forms (-f), Active Links (-a), Filters (-t), Escalations (-q), Menus (-m), Guides (-g), Filter Guides (-h), Applications (-n), Packing Lists (-k) and Web Services (-z) then everything would be exported. This would be the equivalent of selecting Add All in the Export Definitions dialog in the Admin Tool GUI. Correct?

Actually that is true even with Java API as well. These other object types you quoted plus flashboard related objects (data source, variable etc) are not truly server objects but are data within some system forms. So you could potentially use Entry APIs to access such object definitions -- however you need to have a valid mapping between the form/fields to the actual properties (of such object) would correspond to. .NET API does not expose facility to export out the VUI definitions alone. This would be a useful enhancement to add if there were frequent uses for such a thing.

There are 3 ARS object types that I don't see accessible in the API: -d DSOname -b DSOPoolname -v vuiname. I looked through the API help, the database ref guide, and the C ref guide. I don't think the Admin Tool GUI provides the option to export by DSO or VUI (we don't have DSO installed so that may be the reason for DSO not being an option). Is it possible to export these 3 ARS object types from the .Net API? These are the available options for BMC.ARSystem.Server.ObjectType ActiveLink ARForm (same as Form) Container Escalation Filter Form Menu The Container object type is used for several types including guides, filter guides, packing lists, etc. I don't see any option for the other three.
