Exporting RIF packages

When you export a RIF definition the data that is included in the RIF definition is copied to an xml file. Data locks are applied to the local data as prescribed by the RIF definition. The xml file is called a RIF package.

Before you begin

You must have the power to partition data, and modify access to the project. Make sure the project and the modules in the RIF definition you want to export are not open.
Note: When you export a RIF package, all the views that you can access in the modules in the RIF definition are included in the RIF package. You can set up a special RIF account that only has access to the views that you want to include in the RIF package.

Procedure

  1. In the database explorer, select the project that contains the RIF definition that you want to export. Click File > Properties.
  2. Click the RIF Definitions tab, and select the RIF definition that you want to export.
  3. Enter a RIF package file name and location and click Export.
