Exporting a topology

You can export the currently displayed topology to an image file.

To export a topology, complete the following steps in the Data Management Portal:

1. In the Functions pane, click Topology.
2. Click Business Applications.
   An overview topology for the item is displayed.
3. Click the icon.
   The Export Topology window is displayed.
4. Select the type of file to which you want to export the topology.
   The following options are available:

   • JPEG format (file type is JPG)
   • Portable Network Graphics (file type is PNG)
   • Scalable Vector Graphics (file type is SVG)
5. If prompted to do so, for the JPG and PNG file types, specify the image resolution by typing the image height and width.
   For some topologies, larger resolutions might be needed for clarity. The maximum resolution is 9999 x 9999 pixels. For the SVG file type, the image height and width are irrelevant.

   Note: When you export large business application topologies to the SVG file type, you can use a dedicated command line API, the bizappscli tool, which generates smaller files and allows you to compress the file to the .zip format to even further reduce the file size. For details, see Actions for exporting topologies to the SVG format.
6. Click Export.
   Depending on the configuration of your browser, you are prompted to save the image file, or the image is displayed in the browser.
