Use to export one or more ODI objects at the same time to a zip file or a directory.
The objects are either exported as .xml files directly into the directory, or as a zip file containing .xml files.
In the Export Multiple Objects Dialog, set the export parameters as follows:
| Properties | Description |
|---|---|
| Export to directory | Directory in which the export files are created. |
| Export to zip file | Select to generate a zip file. |
| Zip File Name | Name of the zip file. |
| Export child objects | If this option is checked, the objects linked to the object to be exported are also exported. Child objects are displayed under the exported object in the Navigation tree. It is recommended to leave this option checked. See "Exporting an Object with its Child Components" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing Integration Projects with Oracle Data Integrator for more details. |
| Replace existing files without warning | If this option is checked, existing files are replaced directly by the export files without any warning, and a confirmation dialog box is not displayed. If a file with the same name as the export file already exists, it is overwritten by the export file. |

Use these options to customize the XML output file format. It is recommended that you use the default values.
| Properties | Description |
|---|---|
| XML Version | XML version specified in the export file. The XML version parameter in the XML file header.
|
| XML Character Set | Encoding specified in the export file. The encoding parameter in the XML file header.
|
| Java Character Set | Java character set used to generate the file. |
Use the export list to specify the list of objects to export:
Drag and drop the objects from the Oracle Data Integrator Navigators into the Export list. Note that you can export objects from different Navigators at the same time.
Click Load a list of objects... to load a previously saved list of objects. This is useful if you regularly export the same list of objects.
To save the current list of objects, click Save Export List and specify a file name. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten without any warning.
