Exporting IDOs and related elements

You can export IDOs, and/or their property classes and IDO assemblies, for use in a different Objects Database.

  1. Open the IDO Export Wizard form and click Browse.
  2. In the Export File Name dialog box, specify a directory path and a filename for the export file to be created.

    The file type must be XML.

    Note: In a partial trust situation or in the web client, there is no Browse button. In such cases, you have these options to specify the path and filename in the Export File Name field:
    • Enter the full path and filename to a directory on your local computer; for example: C:\Temp\MyIDO.xml
    • Specify just a filename. In this case, the system either prompts the user for a save location, or saves the file to the user's default download location.
  3. In the IDOs To Export section, select the desired IDO project from the Project Name drop-down list.
  4. Select one of these options:
    • To export all the IDOs in the project, select All IDOs In Selected Project.
    • To export only some IDOs, select Selected and then select the IDOs you want from the list.
      Note: To select multiple IDOs, Ctrl-click the desired IDOs.
    Note: In cases where you want to export only property classes and/or IDO assemblies, select None.
  5. In the Property Classes To Export section, select one of the these options:
    • To export all property classes in the current Objects database, select All.
    • To export only property classes used by the IDOs selected in the IDOs To Export section, select Referenced by selected IDOs.
    • To export only some property classes, select Selected. Then select the property classes you want from the list.
  6. In the IDO Assemblies To Export section, select one of these options:
    • To export all IDO extension class assemblies in the current Objects, select All.
    • To export only IDO extension class assemblies used by the IDOs selected in the IDOs to Export section, select Referenced by Selected IDOs.
    • To export only some IDO extension class assemblies, select Selected. Then select the assemblies you want from the list.
  7. When you have selected all the objects to export, click OK.
The IDO Export Wizard creates the XML file and saves it to the designated location. When finished, the wizard closes automatically.
