Exporting Objects

Exporting Objects

To use Model repository objects in another repository, you can export the objects as an XML metadata file.
  1. Click
    File
    Export
    .
    The
    Export
    wizard opens.
  2. Select
    Informatica
    Export Object Metadata File
    .
    Click
    Next
    .
  3. Click
    Browse
    . Select the repository project that contains the objects to export.
    Click
    Next
    .
  4. Select one or more objects to export. If you highlighted a repository object before you started the export process, the wizard selects the object for you.
  5. Enter a file name and a location for the XML metadata file. The Developer tool exports all the objects that you select to a single file.
    Click
    Next
    .
  6. The wizard displays any dependent object that the metadata objects use.
    Click
    Next
    to accept the dependent objects.
  7. If the objects that you select include reference data objects, select the
    Export content
    option and verify the export settings:
    • Verify the name and location for the reference data files that you export. The Developer tool Service exports the reference data files to a single ZIP file. By default, the wizard exports the ZIP file and the XML metadata file to the same directory.
    • Verify the code page that the reference data uses. The default code page is UTF-8. If you export reference table data, accept the default code page.
    • Verify the probabilistic model data to export. By default, the wizard exports all model data. If the objects that you select do not include a probabilistic model, the export process ignores the option.
  8. Click
    Finish
    to export the selected objects.
    The Developer tool exports the object metadata to an XML file and exports any dependent reference data files to a ZIP file.
