Elements of Request XML File
Before exporting metadata, you need to create a request XML file with the business components to be exported.
The following table lists the elements and their usage of the XML file:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Transaction | Contains the Command to be executed on an Entity. Commands within a Transaction element are processed as a single transaction. Only one Command is allowed within a Transaction.
Note: Copy metadata does not support multiple transactions in SqlServer. |
| Command | This determines if a metadata is being imported or exported. Supported command types are ‘Query’ for exporting metadata out of the company, and ‘Update’ for importing metadata into the company. A Command can contain only one Entity. This means that each Entity is exported or imported in a transaction of its own. |
| Entity | This element represents the application’s components which need to be migrated. |
| ExternalKeys | This element is used to identify an Entity of a given type within a company. In most cases, the only key required to identify an Entity is its name. |
