You might want to share failed project resources from a large regression project with
other testers and developers, take working project resources from your own draft project and
import to a new clean project, or share project resources with support to troubleshoot a
problem. To share project resources, you can use the Export Resources wizard.
The wizard bundles the project resources to export in an archive file and writes
that file to a target location.
You can select the required project resources to export from any place within Test Integrations and APIs that you can see
project resources and save the resources in the target location. These resources can
be used later in different projects on different computers.
Note: When permissions are enabled for a project, the Export
Resources menu item is only enabled if the current user has View
permission for the Architecture School and Test Factory.
Note: There are some situations in which not all of the dependencies required to use
a selected resource will be exported. The following is a non-exhaustive list of
scenarios:
- Referenced files that are outside of the project structure will not be
included.
- The logical database referenced by a dbQuery, dbUpdate or XMLdbQuery
function will not be included; it must be selected manually.
To export the project resources to an archive file, follow this
procedure.
-
Click Export Resources from the Project menu.
The Export Resources wizard is displayed.
-
On the Select Resources to Export page, select the project
resources to export. Click Next.
Notes:
- If one or more project resources were selected before you open the
wizard, those resources are automatically selected and shown on the
Select Resources to Export page.
- Resources on which the selected resources depend are also
exported.
- A selected folder does not mean that its contents are included in
the export file.
-
On the Select Environments to Export page, select each
environment that you want to export. Press the space bar to clear or select an
environment. Alternatively, click the Include? check box
next to each environment. Any physical resource that is bound to an exported
logical resource in the selected environments is included in the export
file.
-
On the Select a File page, the Export
File field shows the path to the archive file. The default value
is the user’s home directory with the name of the project followed by
-export. You can also click Browse
to select the destination path. Click Finish.
The export file is written to the specified location.
If the export file exists, you are asked if you want to overwrite it.
