File formats for Object Shopping

When creating an export file for Object Shopping, you can choose between two file formats:

•XML.

•Binary.

The XML format offers human-readable files that you can import in a target repository by executing, in SQL Command:

INVOKE XML.IMPORT WITH SELECT '<filepath>'

For example,

INVOKE XML.IMPORT WITH SELECT 'c:\temp\my-export.xml'

The Binary format is the traditional TDF format that may be imported by using the Analyze and Import wizard.

This wizard and the Binary export file format are supported for backward compatibility only and are NOT described in these help topics. There are minor differences in export/import behavior between the old Binary and the new XML format. For details, please refer to the Release Notes for USoft Developer 9.0.1E.
