Exporting a type

The ccm typedef -export command exports a type definition. Then, a type definition can be imported into another Rational® Synergy database that uses the ccm typedef -import command.

About this task

ccm typedef -export [-to xml_file] type_name
Attention: Do not export Rational Synergy base model type definitions and import them into another Rational Synergy database that is at a different Rational Synergy release, iFix, or patch level. Such usage is invalid and might result in patch or upgrade changes that are made to that base model type definition being overwritten or lost. Patch or upgrade changes might result in unpredictable and erroneous behavior.

Instead, export user-created custom type definitions from a Rational Synergy database and import them into another database at the same or different release, iFix, or patch level. However, features that might be available in the originating database might not be available in databases at previous Rational Synergy releases.

-to xml_file
Specifies the XML file that is created for the exported type definition. The file must use a ’.xml’ suffix. The default is a file in the current directory named type_name.xml.
type_name
Specifies the name of the type definition to be exported.
