Exporting attachments

You can use the export and import of attachments to move an application or OLAP model from one repository to another, or from one project to another, or to backup attachments.

To export a attachment in Repository:

Select the Attachments node underneath a project.
Select the attachments to export in the workspace and click Export on the toolbar. The Export Attachments dialog opens.
Specify the export mode of the selected attachments:

Full

Attachments are exported completely, that is, attachment metadata stored in a repository are exported together with the attachment files and additional information from the source storage system.

Attachment links

Only the attachments metadata stored in the repository are exported including references to the storage aliases by their unique names. When you import the attachments metadata again into another project, the storage aliases must be available and must point to the appropriate storage system. The same attachments must exist in the storage at the same location. Otherwise the exported links will not work.
Select the attachments to export:

All attachments

Exports all attachments that are stored in the repository project.

Selected attachments only

Exports only the attachments that you selected before.
Click the button of the Export to file field and navigate to the storage location of the attachment. Specify the file name (file extension .attachments) and click Save.
To start the export, click OK. The message The attachments have been exported successfully. is displayed. Click OK.
