Overview

Use xmlexport.sh and xmlimport.sh to export and import model/data respectively. You can export information into a .xml or .xar file.

The *.xml is an xml file. It is a single xml file that contains all the information about the data that is being exported.

The *.xar is an archive xml file. This file includes multiple xml files. Exporting data into an *.xar file simplifies editing each individual file.

Typically when exporting model information in .xar, the file contains the hierarchy.lst, metadata.xml, and other xml files.

This table describes the contents of .xar files:

hierarchy.lst

Contains information on the hierarchy of the classes that are exported.

metadata.xml

Contains the Meta Model data of the classes that are exported.

Other xml files

Contains information on the class properties, pointer class properties, and so on, in separate xml files.

Note: XML format does not support Options and Transaction blocks in the .xml file.
