Saving the Results

You can save the results pipeline to a file. You might do this so that you can compare saved result pipelines to each other.

When you save a pipeline, it is saved in a file in XML format. The file you create can be used to:

Dynamically load the pipeline at run time in a flow service by using the pub.flow:restorePipelineFromFile service.

Load a set of input values when creating a launch configuration or when running or debugging a service.

You can view a pipeline file with an ordinary text editor. When saving the pipeline, keep the following points in mind:

Only XML-codable variables are saved. This includes, Strings, String Lists, String Tables, Documents, and Document Lists. Variables that are not XML codable are not saved.

Empty variables and null variables are saved.

Use the following procedure to save the results pipeline to a pipeline file.
