Exporting and Importing Client Tabs
Exporting
You can export client tabs using a command line application.
1. From the Windchill shell, enter: java com.ptc.core.ui.ixb.ClientTabExport tabname
The required tabname parameter is the name of the tab to export.
◦ For a home page, this should be the string homepage.
◦ For other tabs, the name is that shown on the tab in the UI.
◦ To export a tab that includes spaces in the name, double-quote the parameter: “My Custom Tab”.
2. You will be prompted for a Windchill user name and password. Enter the Site Administrator’s credentials.
3. Wildcards are added internally; the resulting query is: select * from CLIENTTAB where NAME like %tabname%;
4. The export utility reports the names of exported tabs, and the location of the .jar file it produces:

If the container or user of an imported tab (whichever applies) is not present on the destination system, that tab is not imported. A warning will be displayed.
