Export production control jobs

Export jobs to move jobs from one database to another.

We recommend that you create backup copies of jobs to recover deleted jobs. Users with administrator rights can recover deleted production control jobs. For more information, see Recover deleted jobs.

Go to Maintenance > <Module> > Job Maintenance.

The Job Maintenance dialog box opens.
Select the job that you want to export.

To select multiple jobs, hold down Ctrl.

To select a range of subsequent jobs, hold down Shift.
At the bottom of the dialog box, click Export.

The Save As dialog box opens.
Browse to the folder where you want to save the file.

Use the automatically generated name or type a new one.
Click Save.

The selected production control job is saved as a Tekla PowerFab-specific type of KISS file. The exported KISS files contain load and piece tracking information that KISS files do not normally contain.
