Exporting repository models

Edit online

A model represents a repository and its asset structure, including asset types, categories, attributes, relationships, and configuration information. Model information is stored in the database. Server machines that use the same database use the same model. To facilitate reuse across repositories, or to use model information that is produced by another application, you can import and export models as XML metadata interchange (XMI) files.

Before you begin

To export repository models, you must be a repository administrator.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the IBM® Rational® Asset Manager web client as a repository administrator
  2. Click Administration.
  3. In the Repository Administration side bar, click Tools.
  4. In the Export model section, click Export.
    The repository model is exported as a reusable XMI file.
