Export API Parameters for Dependent Objects

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 5 replies

When using `XXEN_API.export_file_data` for scripted migration, how do I ensure that dependent objects, like LOV definitions and report assignments, are included in the generated XML?

    You control dependency inclusion using specific optional parameters in the export functions (both `export_file_data` and `export_report_`). These parameters are designed for the ‘Reports’ export type.

    What are the names of these inclusion parameters?

  • Support Enginatics

    You set parameters such as `p_include_lovs`, `p_include_categories`, `p_include_assignments`, and `p_include_templates` to ‘Y’ to include those definitions in the XML output.

    What about column translations and number formats?

  • Support Enginatics

    For column translations and number formats, you use `p_include_columns`. Be aware that using this option might slow down the export significantly, as the database needs to parse all exported report SQLs to identify column names.
