Import and Export Objects

Import and Export Objects

You can import and export projects and objects in a project. You can also import and export application archive files in a repository.
When you export an object, the Developer tool also exports the dependent objects. A dependent object is an object that is used by another object. For example, a physical data object used as a mapping input is a dependent object of that mapping. When you import an object, the Developer tool imports all the dependent objects.
When you export or import objects in a project or folder, the Model Repository Service preserves the object hierarchy.
The following table lists objects and dependent objects that you can export:
Object
Dependency
Application
  • SQL data services, mappings, or workflows and their dependent objects
Project
  • Projects contain other objects, but they do not have dependent objects
Folder
  • Folders contain other objects, but they do not have dependent objects
