Export objects to an application interface

Application interface objects store parameters required to share data in PLM XML format, allowing you to repeatedly share data with other sites without defining the parameters each time you export the data.

Procedure

1. Select the objects to be exported.
2. Choose Tools -> Export -> Objects. The Export dialog box is displayed.
3. Click AppInterface in the left pane of the dialog box.
4. Choose an existing application interface via Find Application Interface, or create a new one via Create Application Interface, entering:
   • Name
   • Description — describes the application interface (optional).
   • Import Transfer Mode Name — the transfer mode used when objects are imported into your database.
   • Export Transfer Mode Name — the transfer mode used when objects are exported from your database.
   • Target Sites — the sites to which objects will be exported when this application interface is used.
   • Active Incremental Change — the incremental change into which objects will be imported. Buttons beside the box let you create an incremental change object, search for a change, or select from recently used changes; the Information button lets you view or modify the active change.
5. (Optional) Choose Is Partial Export.
6. (Optional) Choose Open on Export.
7. Click OK to export the objects in the Object List and close the dialog box.
