Exporting referenced items

Components that you export might be dependent on other components to function as intended. For example, if you want to export a job resource and the job resource references an action to be performed when the job completes, Fathom automatically includes the action in the exported file.

Figure 9–1 and Figure 9–2 show implicit and explicit components.

Figure 9–1: Implicit and explicit components selected for export

An explicit component is one that you select; an implicit component is one that is also exported because a selected component has a dependency on it.

In the Components selected for export list shown in Figure 9–1, the default AppServer rule set and the two job templates BackupAJS and Weekly_Config_Backup are explicitly exported; Default_Action and Default_Mail_Action and are implicitly exported because the rule set or one of the job templates is dependent upon its availability.

Figure 9–2: Implicit and explicit components export confirmation

The Exported components list that appears in Figure 9–2 confirms that the explicitly selected components and their two component dependents have in fact been successfully exported. The implicit components are dimmed to identify their dependency.
