Use
The report exports the selected contents in the form of an XML file. You can use the output file for an import into MashZone and various BI tools supporting XML import. You can also start this report as a scheduled report for the context Database, Group, Model, or Object. If you select a group, all subgroups are automatically included.
Since this report has been developed for scheduled execution you cannot use dialogs. Therefore, you need to define export options in the report script by adapting the parameters of the variables:
Parameter |
Description (true) |
Standard (allowed) |
g_bExportCompleteGroupPaths |
Creates groups of items that you have implicitly selected for export in the XML file. Implicit items are, for example, items that you include in the export by enabling the Assignment level and Relationship level options. If you do not enable this option, these items will be created in the main group during a subsequent import. |
true (true/false) |
g_bExportFormatedAttrDefs |
Outputs formatted attribute definitions |
false (true/false) |
g_nHierarchyDepth |
Specifies the level up to which assignments are to be exported. |
0 (>= 0) |
g_bIsSimpleExport |
Restricts the export to the necessary items. For example, the graphic settings or GUIDs of specific items are not exported. The missing GUIDs are generated upon import, and other missing information is replaced with default settings. We recommend that you do not import the file generated during the export to ARIS because the missing GUID can result in redundant data in the XML file in ARIS (for example, fonts). |
false (true/false) |
g_nRelationDepth |
Specifies the depth to which object definitions linked by connections are to be exported too. |
0 (>= 0) |
g_bZipExport |
Compresses the output file in ZIP format. |
false (true/false) |
g_bAddDTD |
Transfers the DTD so that the output file is properly displayed locally. |
true (true/false) |
