Export Using the Interface

In a Windows environment, from the graphical user interface, you can use the Export Utility to copy Optim™ object definitions to an output file.

To use the Export Utility:

  1. In the main window, select Export from the Utilities menu.
  2. In Definitions, select the objects to export.
  3. Enter an Output File name.
  4. Select or clear options to append to an existing file and export subordinate definitions.
  5. Choose Run from the File menu.
  6. Monitor progress in the Export Progress pane.
  7. When Export Processing is finished, choose Show Process Log from the Tools menu to review or print the Export Process Log.

These steps are the minimum required to export objects. The Output File to which you export objects is used as the input for Import Processing.
