This topic describes the different ways to move resources between StreamBase Studio and your file system. Exporting resources to your file system is a useful way to share them between different StreamBase Studio workspaces or a different instance of Studio on another machine.
The best way to transfer an entire Studio project to another instance of Studio is to export it as an archive file:
- 
                           Select a project's name in the Package Explorer. 
- 
                           Right-click and select Export from the context menu. 
- 
                           In the Export dialog, select → and click . 
- 
                           In the next screen, the project you selected in step 1 is preselected. - 
                                    Clear the check boxes next to any of that project's files that you do not want to export. 
- 
                                    In the To archive file field, type the path name of the archive file you want to create, or use the button to navigate to a location. 
- 
                                    Select either zip or tar archive format and select the Compress the contents of the file button. 
- 
                                    Click 
 
- 
                                    
- 
                           Studio exports your project to the specified archive file. 
Use → → to import the project archive into another Studio installation.
To export project resources files to your local file system:
- 
                           In the Package Explorer, select the project folder or subfolder that contains the resource files of interest. 
- 
                           Right-click and select Export from the context menu. 
- 
                           In the Export dialog, select → and click . 
- 
                           In the next screen, the folder you selected in step 1 is preselected. - 
                                    Clear the check boxes next to any of that folder's files that you do not want to export. 
- 
                                    In the To directory field, type the path name of the archive file you want to create, or use the button to navigate to a location. 
- 
                                    Click 
 
- 
                                    
- 
                           Studio exports the selected resource files to the specified location.
