Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.5

Exporting instances (Export wizard)

You can group instances into a file to be exported. You can save this file, which has an xmi extension, in any directory. Once exported, it will be available for any subsequent import via the Import function of the 'Design explorer' view.

To export instances into a file, you must:
  1. Open the 'Design explorer' view of the 'Design' perspective.
  2. Open an existing location or create a new location and open it (an opened location is represented by a open location icon).
  3. Click on a location line, an entity line or an instance line and right-click. In the popup menu which opens up, select Export. This opens the export wizard, which looks like this:
    export wizard
    In this wizard, you must:
    1. Select the instances to be exported. The wizard displays all the instances of the current location. So if you do not want to export them all, you can either deselect those you want to discard or click the None button, and then select, one by one, the instances to be exported..
    2. Enter or select the export file which will contain all the selected instances. You can either enter it directly in the destination input box, with its complete file path, or select it via the Browse... button.
    3. Click Finish.
The export file, with an xmi extension, is then created in the location you have specified. It contains all the selected instances and is ready to be imported.
