Export Data and Structures
When a support activity is investigated, you
may be asked to send files containing all structure tables, or a selection
of data from the database, to your contact person at IBM® Cognos®.
The generated files can only be read by IBM Cognos support. In the window
where you define the selection, you can export all structure files
to one file. When you save structures as files only the structures,
and not the data, will be saved. From the result window, you can export
the current result to another file.
As a default the file will have file format *.FZP. This format is unique to IBM Controller, and can only be read by other Controller installations, that is, you cannot open the file in any other program. You can also save the structure file as *.ZIP, which is a password protected and compressed file format.
Note: To export structures and data between
Controller installations within the
group, you work with the Transfer/Export Structures or
Transfer/Export Data menu.
