In some cases, you might want to change the export model of an application. For example, if you want to exclude some business objects or tables from the exported application, or if you want to put restrictions on the records being exported.
For this purpose, you can do an ad-hoc change of the export model of an application. However…
IMPORTANT:
|
Re-generating the Export Model of an application overwrites the existing model, including all your changes.
|
Always first consider to define an application basket instead of changing the export model of an application. This is more flexible, and leaves the original application model intact.
On the other hand, if the application model is changed often (e.g. in a development phase), then changing the export model could be a strategy.
To change the export model of an application:
| 1. | From the Repository Manager menu, select Define, Repository Versions. |
| The Repository Versions window opens. |
| 2. | Perform a query that retrieves the repository version for which you want to change the export model. |
| Double-click on the name of the repository version from the catalog |
| 3. | Check that this repository version has been exported, and an export model has been generated. |
•The Exported On field contains the date and time of the last export. •The Model Generated field contains the date and time of the last generation. | 4. | Click the Business Areas… button at the bottom. |
| The Business Areas in Repository Version window opens. |
| 5. | In the Business Areas Exported… part of the window, delete or Exclude all business objects that you do NOT want to be exported. |
| 6. | Likewise, for each included business object, in the Application Tables Exported in this Business Object… part of the window, delete or Exclude all tables that you do NOT need. |
The Export Model is adapted automatically.
