Creating Property List Exports

When you create or open an export, it is displayed on a named tab.

The export wizard is used to define the parameters and criteria for the export. The wizard content is organized across Source and Target tabs to guide input. Although the wizard tabs are ordered to gather input in a sequence, you can navigate between any tabs.

  To create a property list export:

  1. From the Data Relationship Management navigation bar, select Export.

  2. Click New compare toolbar button.

  3. Select Property List as the export type.

  4. Select the Source tab and choose a version.

    You can select Normal, Baseline, or As-Of versions. The Version list defaults to the Normal versions. To select a Baseline or As-Of version, click Normal under the Version list.

    Note:

    Even though the results are not filtered by version, for this release you must select a version.

  5. From the Available list, select a list property upon which to base the export.

  6. Select the Target tab and choose where to export the results:

    • Client File –– Download results via the browser.

    • Server File –– Use an external connection and save results to a network file system or an FTP directory.

    • Database Table –– Save results to a database table.

  7. Perform an action:

    • If you selected to export to a Client File, choose options:

      • Quoted Strings — Puts quotation marks around strings

      • Column Headings — Includes column headings

    • If you selected to export to a Server File, you must set your connection and enter a file name. You must have already set up a valid external connection to a UNC or FTP file. You can also select from these options:

      • Quoted Strings — Puts quotation marks around strings

      • Column Headings — Includes column headings

  8. Do either or both of the following:

    • Click Save button to save the export.

      You are prompted to define a name, description, and object access for the export:

      • User – Personal objects that are only available to an individual user to view and run.

      • Standard – Public objects that are available to all users to view and run. Only Data Manager users can create and modify standard exports.

      • System – Restricted objects that are only available to Application Administrator role users to view and run.

    • Click Run button to run the export.

      If you selected Client File, you have a download option where you can download the file locally.
