ION Connect import and export

With ION, you can import and export almost all ION entities.

You can use these import and export options:

Import ION content that was delivered by Infor.
Copy ION content from one ION installation to another. For example, to copy your models from a test environment to a production environment.
Create a backup of your configuration and to restore a previous version of your configuration.
Import models from a previous ION release.

You can import and export one or more entities such as connection points or mappings. You can also export and import a complete parent entity as data flows including all child connection points and mappings.

File Formats

The output of an export operation from most ION entities is an XML file. The exception is custom documents definitions where the output is a ZIP file.

Active / Inactive status

Status information is not included in the import and export procedure. When exporting an active model, this model does not become automatically active after import.
