Export of Data Sources

You can export more than one repository from one Company to another. For every repository that is exported, all the components get exported along with them.

If a repository is related to another repository, all the related repositories are also exported to the destination Company. For example, consider, the Customer repository is related to Address and Account repositories by CustomerAddress and CustomerPayments relationships respectively, and the Account repository is related to Location repository by LocationofAccount relationship.

Selecting Cross-Repository Relationship

In this case, if the metadata of Customer is exported, the metadata of all four repositories is exported from the company. However, if the metadata of Account is exported, the metadata of only Location repository is exported. Hence, only forward related repositories are selected in the hierarchy.

When a repository is exported, the following subcomponents are exported along with it:

  • Attribute
  • Attribute Group
  • Classification Scheme
  • Output Map
  • Input Map
  • Perspective
  • Relationship Definition
  • Database Table Name for the repository
  • Database Column Name for any user-defined attribute of the repository.
