Importing and exporting XML files

The "Import Analyst model" command imports the elements contained in a specified XML file into the element on which the command is being run.

The "Export Analyst model" command exports an element and the elements it contains into an XML file. This XML file is then available for future XML file import operations.

These commands can only be run on analyst containers.

Importing/exporting XML files

Steps:

Right-click on the element you wish export/import.
Use either the Export or Import Analyst model commands from the 'Import/Export' menu.

DTD structure

The following is the DTD used in the import/export of Analyst elements.
