When you export a RIF definition the data that is included
in the RIF definition is copied to an xml file. Data locks are applied
to the local data as prescribed by the RIF definition. The xml file
is called a RIF package.
Before you begin
You must have the power to partition data, and modify access
to the project. Make sure the project and the modules in the RIF definition
you want to export are not open.
Note: When you export a RIF package,
all the views that you can access in the modules in the RIF definition
are included in the RIF package. You can set up a special RIF account
that only has access to the views that you want to include in the
RIF package.
