Exporting a Custom Product Family Version

When you export a product family version, export both the data model metadata and the application metadata to a location of your choice. You can export a custom product family version (PFV) to an XML file. You might want to export a custom product family version so that you can import the product family version to a different environment.

When you export a product family version, you export both the data model metadata and the application metadata. When you export the data model metadata, you choose to submit the export job as a background job or continue the export through the Enterprise Data Manager.

You also have the option of selecting

Enhanced Export

. Select the enhanced export option if you need to import the product family version to an existing environment. If you do not choose enhanced export, and you try to import the exported data model metadata to an environment where a product family version exists, the data becomes corrupted.

To export a custom PFV, perform the following steps:

In the Enterprise Data Manager, select the PFV that you want to export and click

File

Export

Data Model Metadata

The

Export Database Metadata Options

window appears.

Select

Both

Click

The

Export Database Metadata Options

window appears.

Run the export job as a background job or through the Enterprise Data Manager.

If you plan to import the PFV to an existing environment, select

Enhanced Export

Click

Select a location to export the XML file to and click

Save

A popup appears to indicate that the export has completed successfully.

After you export a custom product family version, you can import it into a different environment. The process is the same as importing an accelerator. When you import the product family version, you again have the option of choosing enhanced import. You also have the option to update the metadata of the entities in the environment you are importing to.
