Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.6

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.

  1. In the Design explorer view, open a location (it must be represented by open location).
  2. Right-click on the location line, on an entity line or an instance line and select Export in the popup menu. This opens the export wizard, which looks like this:
    export wizard
  3. 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 field, with its complete file path, or select it via the Browse... button.
    3. Click Finish.
Results
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.
