Use this pane to export the content in the business glossary
into an XML, CSV, or XMI (glossary archive) file.
You can export glossary
content to a file in order to reimport it later. The export method
that you choose depends on your reason for wanting to export and import,
and the capabilities of the import method.
With the XML import method, you can import any kind of glossary
content. This includes categories, terms, and all their properties
and relationships.
The CSV import method is more limited. You can import categories,
terms, links to stewards, and the values of custom attributes. However,
you cannot import custom attribute definitions or relationships, and
not all values of properties can be changed.
- Select the type of file to export to:
- XML
- Exports to an XML (Extensible Markup Language) file.
- Glossary Archive
- Exports glossary content to an archive file that is in XMI (XML
Metadata Interchange) format so that you can move it to a different IBM® InfoSphere™ Information Server metadata
repository.
- CSV
- Exports to a CSV (comma-separated value) file.
The following options apply to XML and Glossary Archive exports
only.
- Include links to:
- Assigned assets
- Includes links from terms to their assigned assets such as jobs,
reports, and database tables.
- Stewards
- Includes links from categories and terms to their stewards.
The following actions apply to exports for all types of files.
- Select the top level categories that you want to export:
- Select the check boxes that correspond to the categories that
you want to export. To export all of the selected categories that
are displayed on the scrollable pane, select the top check box next
to the word "Name" in the leftmost column. To export a subset of categories,
select, from the list, only the categories that you want to export.
The
selected categories are displayed in the Selected Categories list
to the right.
- Remove
- Select one or more categories from the Selected Categories list,
then click Remove. The removed categories will
not be included in the export process.
Note: To select a category to
remove either unselect the check box corresponding to it or select
the name of the category directly in the Selected Categories list,
and then click Remove.
