Exporting changes to an XML file from the compare editor

After you merge changes to data objects in the compare editor, you can export the changes to an XML file.

This feature is available only when you compare data objects.

To export changes to an XML file from the compare editor:

  1. Merge changes to data objects using either the Structural Compare view or the Property Compare view.
  2. Click Export Export toolbar button icon from the compare editor toolbar.
  3. In the window that opens, specify a name and a local directory for the XML file, then click OK. The XML file cannot be saved to a project in the workbench.
The XML file is saved to the directory that you specified.
The following code example shows the type of XML file that is generated.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<compare timestamp="Fri Jul 15 11:52:54 PDT 2005"
    left="design3/SAMPLE.dbm/SAMPLE.SAMP"
    right="SAMPLE:SAMPLE.SAMP">
<item name="Schema" left="<Schema> SAMP"		right="<Schema> SAMP">
	<item name="Table" left="<Table> Table1" 		right="<Table> Table1">
	</item>
	<item name="Table" left="<Table> Table2">
	</item>
	<item name="Table" left="<Table> Table3">
	</item>
	<item name="Table" left="<Table> Table4">
	</item>
</item>
</compare>
