When you export a Requirements Interchange Format definition the data that is included in the definition is copied to an xml file. Data locks are applied to the local data as prescribed by the definition. The xml file is called a Requirements Interchange Format 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 definition you want to export are not open.
Note: When you export a package, all the views that you can access in the modules in the definition are included in the package. You can set up a special Requirements Interchange Format account that only has access to the views that you want to include in the package.
Procedure
- In the database explorer, select the project that contains the definition that you want to export. Click .
- Click the RIF Definitions tab, select the definition, and click Export.
- Enter a package file name and location and click OK.
