Saving a trial
When you perform a Save operation, the InForm Architect application generates XML files defining some or all of the components in the open trial, according to the requested Save option, and saves the files in a location that you specify. The InForm Architect application offers the following options for saving a trial definition:
- Saving a copy of the trial definition XML.
- Saving all components in the Trial Objects window.
- Saving only the components that are actually used in the trial definition.
- Saving by component.
- Installing component definitions in the InForm application database as you save.
When you save trial component definitions by using the methods described in this section, the InForm Architect application generates XML files and response files that you can process with the MedML Installer to load the definitions into the InForm application database.
Note: Any new component definitions that you create during an InForm Architect application session exist in system cache only as long as the trial server is up. They are not loaded into the InForm application database unless you load the generated XML explicitly or when you save your work. To obtain the generated XML to load into the database, you must save component definitions. If you stop the trial server before saving your work, you will lose it. Therefore, saving frequently as you develop trial components is strongly recommended.
