When you export a project, it is saved as an XML file using the format defaultprojectname_monthdate.xml. The saved project contains all project level details. It does not contain details of ERP Types and ERP Connections. Once a project is exported, it can be copied to a version control system such as Source Safe or to another machine. Note that no actual data is saved in the project, only the schema structure.
Caution:
Project changes should only be made through the
Studio interface and not directly into the exported file
as this can adversely affect the project.
