Importazione/Esportazione dump versione

You can copy data from one system or company to another. These sessions provide the functionality:

Export Version Dump (tgbrg1235m000).
Import Version Dump (tgbrg1245m000)

Esportazione dump versione (tgbrg1235m000)

Use the Esportazione dump versione (tgbrg1235m000) session to export version data to an ASCII file. You can use the ASCII file for these purposes:

To copy data from one system or company to another system or company.
To translate descriptions and texts.
To convert data from the current LN release to a previous release, such as Baan IVc.
Create backups of your DEM data.

All data in the selected version that falls within the selection parameters will be exported. To import data exported with the current session, use the Importazione dump versione (tgbrg1245m000) session.

To make an export dump, complete the following steps:

In the Versione field, select a version that provides the model items you want to export.
To export data from versions from which the version you have selected is derived, select the Includi versioni precedenti check box.
In the File field, specify a file where the ASCII file must be written to.
On the successive tabs, select the ranges of model items you want to export.
Click Esporta

Key fields for the Esportazione dump versione (tgbrg1235m000) session
Field	Description
Comprimi	Se la casella di controllo è selezionata, the ASCII file is stored in a compressed format. You cannot read the file in UNIX VI or MS Notepad. The file will be automatically decompressed when you import the file with the Importazione dump versione (tgbrg1245m000) session.
Converti in	Select the Infor ERP release to which you want to convert the component information. If the export file is for use within the same LN release, you can select Nessuna conversione.
Includi commenti conversione	Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, explanatory information is inserted in the export file to identify the model items.
Escludi RTF (Rich Text Format)	Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, repository Help or model specific Help stored in rtf format is not exported.
Nascondi sessione	Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, the session window is hidden and a progress window appears when you click Esporta.
Esporta oggetti modello utilizzati in modelli aziendali	Select a method to retrieve the model items used in the business models: No: Option is not active Manuale: Select a range for used model items.

Importazione dump versione (tgbrg1245m000)

Use the Importazione dump versione (tgbrg1245m000) session for the following purposes:

To copy data from one system or company to another system or company.
To import translated descriptions and texts.
To import a backup of DEM data.

Import files are created with the Esportazione dump versione (tgbrg1235m000) session.

If the source version, created with the Esportazione dump versione (tgbrg1235m000) session, is different from the version into which you want to import the data, you must select the Importa oggetti modello in versione differente check box.

When the data is being imported, LN checks whether the version to be imported already exists in the target system or company. If the version does not exist, LN will ask if the version must be created.

If the import file contains data from derived-from-versions, the file was exported with the Includi versioni precedenti check box selected in the Esportazione dump versione (tgbrg1235m000) session. Therefore, this structure must also exist in the system or company into which the file is imported. If the import file contains data from derived-from-versions, and this data is imported into a different version than the version it was originally exported from, the DEM data versions are purged into one import version.

If an import file is exported from an older DEM software version, the DEM data is automatically converted to the new DEM data format.

If you import Baan IVc DEM data, you are prompted to specify the LN component to which the ERP session must be linked. This component, together with its applications, must be available. If an imported version is protected with a license, you need to enter the license registration.

If the data in the file is not correct, a log file will be printed with the errors and the line number in the file.

Esempio

A reference does not exist
A code or description is too long
A table field does not exist

To import a version dump:

In the File field, specify the path where the version dump is located and from where you want to import it.
On the successive tabs, select the ranges of model items you want to import.

Key fields for the Importazione dump versione (tgbrg1245m000) session
Importa oggetti modello in versione differente	Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, the data must be imported into a target version that differs from the source version from where the dump was created. Specify the target version in the Import into Version field.
Controlla integrità dati	Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, the information in the import file is checked for: All references from a model item must exist. All descriptions are checked to ensure they still comply with the domain definition on the target system; if not, they are adjusted to the new domain.
Stampa errori	Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, errors that occur during the import are printed.
Nascondi sessione	Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, the session window is hidden and a progress window appears when you click Importa.

Import Language-Dependent Data from XML - Wizard (ttadv8920m000)

To import XML files with language-dependent components into the data dictionary, use the Import Language-Dependent Data from XML - Wizard (ttadv8920m000) session. When you import the language-dependent components, Tools will take the following actions:

Compile the imported labels
Convert imported domains to run-time
Convert the imported system overhead to run-time

After the import, the imported components are ready for immediate use at run-time.

In Tools, you can define multiple labels with the same code, which have different heights, and lengths.

By default, Tools displays the longest label defined for the label code of a software component.

If an imported label is shorter than any existing labels with the same code in the VRC, the existing older label displays on the software component. To ensure the imported labels display for your VRC’s software components, select the Remove Existing Label Variants check box in this session.

Nota

If an error occurs during the import process, Tools does not compile the labels. However, to compile these labels after the import process, use the Compile Labels (ttadv1243m000) session.

For more specific information, refer to the online help of this session.
