Exporting and importing CDFs through ttadv4291m000 and ttadv4292m000

Note: You should perform the export and import through PMC. CDFs that are imported through PMC are not overwritten with CDFs from the Import Customer Defined Fields (ttadv4292m000) session.

The format of CDF files has been changed. If you use a 10.6 version of LN, you can export CDFs to a pre-10.6 version. To do this, you must select Before 10.6 format in the Export Customer Defined Fields (ttadv4291m000) session. Otherwise you cannot import CDFs from a 10.6 LN version into a pre-10.6 LN version.

In LN versions before 10.6, all lists were exported and imported. From 10.6 onwards, only the lists that are used by the exported and imported CDFs are exported and imported.

Suppose that a CDF with origin “FromPMC” was exported through ttadv4291m00 and then imported into a system without this CDF. In that case, the CDF origin is set to the default value: “Manual”. If the CDF already existed on the import system and was “FromPMC”, it remains “FromPMC”.
