You can import and export collections to make them portable between databases or development systems. Multiple development systems can then use the same collection.
To export a collection
- In the All Nodes pane, right-click the appropriate collection, and then click Export.
- Select the folder in which you want to put the collection.
- In the File nametext box, type the name of the configuration.
- To export the file in Unicode format, select the Save as Unicodecheck box.
- Click
Export.
Important If your collection has custom components, and you plan to import it into another development system, you must do the following:
- Copy the component definition file that has the custom components to the other development system.
- Import the component definition file into Target Designer on
the other development system.
Note You can specify a different file name when you export a collection. However, when you import that collection, it returns to its original name and place in the All Nodes pane.
You can copy the exported collection to media or a network, and then distribute it to other users.
A collection file name includes the .cix extension.
