XML Export and Imports

Hi Sunil,



to export the entire database as an XML export, you should use the XMLExport report API:



var xmlExport = Context.getComponent("XMLExport")



First, you create an "options"-object with "root group" as the element to be exported and all languages you want to export.

You can optionally set further export options.

var rootGroup = ArisData.getSelectedDatabases()[0].RootGroup()

var options = xmlExport.createDefaultXMLExportOptions(rootGroup, [Context.getSelectedLanguage()] )



With this, you can start the export:

//see XMLExportResultWrapper2

var result = xmlExport.startExport2(options)



You'll find further information, also for XML import, in the ARIS Architect script help.



To import an xml export, you use the XML import API:



var import = Context.getComponent("XMLImport")

var options = import.createDefaultAMLOptions(...) or import.createDefaultAMLOptions2(...)

var mergeOptions = import.createDefaultMergeOptions()

...

//see XMLImportResultWrapper

var importResult = import.startImport(options, mergeOptions)

Hello Torsten,

I've found this post that i consider usefull.

However, using your code i don't receive the XML file at my client machine.

result.isSuccessful() returns true and result.getDuration() gives values that make me believe the export was done.

Using:

  Context.addOutputFileName( result.getFileResult().getName() , Context.getSelectedLanguage() );

i got an empty file.

Is there a way to send the XML file to the client machine, or at least some way to access its content and use something like:

Context.addOutputFile( ficheiro, (new java.lang.String("text file content")).getBytes("UTF-8") );

Best regards,

Nuno Santos
