Export as XML

Diagram information can be exported as XML, which is based on an XMI structured schema. A new folder is created with the same name as the map.

Note: Exporting as XML can be run from the command line prompt and setup as a scheduled task. Please see the Administration Guide that is included on the CD for more information.

1.	From the File menu choose Import/Export and then Export to XML.

2.	Click Choose Location to specify the location where you want to create the XML files.

3.	Select the type of export from the following:

Standard XML export includes all diagrams within the specified scope, drill downs, activities, resources, attachments (including data tables), costing information, activity inputs/outputs, flow-line links, free text, commentary text, change logs, authorizers, reviewers, acknowledgers, history audit logs, acknowledgement logs, subscribers, feedback and change requests.
