The Extract Rule and Objective Types for Xoom Set transformation is used when you want to deploy one or more Rule or Objective Types but leave the others unchanged.
Service Optimization does not store Rule and Objective Types as individual entities. Therefore, in order to deploy a Rule or Objective Type without affecting the others you have to use a xoom:set special form. The Extract Rule and Objective Types for Xoom Set transformation expresses every Rule and Objective Type using xoom:set special form, and puts them into a single XoomXML file. The Rule or Objective Types you don't want to deploy can easily be removed from this file.
The saved file can be edited in Xoom Explorer or a text editor such as Notepad ++. Remove all the rules and objectives you don't want to deploy.
Removing Objective Types
Objective Types are contained within the element <Setting xoom:id="Setting[[Application]|Objective Types|Objective Types|]"> (outlined in red in the following screenshot). Remove an unwanted Objective Type by selecting and deleting the relevant <xoom:set> elements. So, in the following screenshot, to remove the Objective Type called Group Similar Tasks BVF you would select everything outlined in blue and remove it from the file. Continue until you are left with just the Objective Type(s) you want to deploy. Save the file and deploy it using Xoom Processor or Settings Migration Tool.
Removing Rule Types
Rule Types are contained within the element <Setting xoom:id="Setting[[Application]|Rule Types|Rule Types|]"> (outlined in red in the following screenshot). Remove an unwanted Rule Type by selecting and deleting the relevant <xoom:set> elements. So, in the following screenshot, to remove the Rule Type called Calendar Rule you would select everything outlined in blue and remove it from the file. Continue until you are left with just the Rule Type(s) you want to deploy. Save the file and deploy it using Xoom Processor or Settings Migration Tool.
