From the Project Library you can export and import library projects. Library projects are exported to local or server systems to be imported into other repositories. Library projects are exported as compressed XML files that are automatically uncompressed when you import them back into a Project Library.

Guidelines: Note the following when exporting and importing library projects:
  • Only library projects created and exported from a Project Library can be imported into the Library.
  • You can import files from your local system, remote systems including mapped drives, and UNC paths.
  • Exported project files are compressed, named projectN.prl, and saved in a directory named projectN, where N is the reference number of your project.
  • The compressed file extension .prl is unique to exported library projects from the Control Center.
  • Each time you export a library project, any previously exported projects in the target directory are overwritten. You can rename an exported file to save multiple versions of the same file.
  • You must have read access to any files you plan to import.

Export Locations

Local System. Select any directory on your system. This option is not available if your Repository Administrator has enabled the Disable access to file system option.

  • Server System. The file is saved to the following location on the server: p a th/export/repository/projectN where:
    • path is the default repository server path
    • repository is the name of repository you are currently logged into
    • N is the unique reference number of your library project

For example, C:\ProgramData\Trillium Software\MBSW\17\Data\export \metabase\myrepository3\project11
