The Configuration Exchange feature allows for the rule sets and configurations (along with their dependencies) for the below EVOLVE features to be easily and selectively imported/exported. For example, when exporting, if data profiles and/or data tables are referenced by a rule set or configuration, the Configuration Exchange will automatically display those profiles and/or tables to be included in the export file. Except for Data Tables, all features below have possible dependencies.
Impacted features
- Reports
- Data Profiles
- Data Tables
- Parameter Sync
- Colorizer
- Workset Manager
Note: Workset Manager uses model-specific Ids (not the name) when associating a rule. Unless the respective workset exists in a template and both the source and destination were created from that template, then the Ids won’t match, and the rule won’t work until it is manually fixed.
To Export
- From the feature, in the tool palette, click Configuration Exchange.
- From the Configuration Exchange window, select the desired row(s) and click Export Selected.
NOTE: when selecting a row, if the item has any dependencies, the dependencies are automatically selected. If you do not wish to include the dependencies you can manually deselect them.
- From the Export Data window, navigate to the desired location, name the file, and click Save.
- From the Configuration Exchange window, click OK.
To Import
- From the feature, in the tool palette, click Configuration Exchange.
- From the Configuration Exchange window, click Import Data.
- From the Import Data window, navigate to the desired .eVBatch file, select the file, and click Open.
- From the Configuration Exchange window, select the desired row(s) and click Import Selected.
NOTE: when selecting a row, if the item has any dependencies, the dependencies are automatically selected. If you do not wish to include the dependencies you can manually deselect them.
- From the Import Data window, click OK.
- From the Configuration Exchange window, click OK.
- From the Configuration Exchange window, click OK. The selected items are imported.
Note: rule sets and configurations must all be within the scope (all project specific or all user-specific). For example, Element Filters (machine-specific) and Renumber (user-specific) cannot be in the same “batch” as Parameter Sync (project-specific).
