You can export library attributes and use them in other repositories. You can import library attributes to work with in your current Business Rules Library. Exporting library attributes allows you to preserve versions of your compliance standards.

Guidelines:
  • Exported files are saved as compressed .abr files that contain XML files of the library attribute and the ABR definitions it stores.
  • You can import both .abr and XML file types.
  • You can import files from your local system, remote systems including mapped drives, and UNC paths.
  • You must have read access to any files you plan to import and Export privileges for library attributes you want to export. Security permissions set on exported library objects are not retained upon import to another repository.

Export Locations

You can export one or more library attributes at a time to the following locations:

  • Local System. Select any directory on your system. This option is not available if your Repository Administrator selected the Disable access to file system setting for your environment.
  • Server System. The file is saved to the default export location on your server system. 

(For example, C:\ProgramData\Trillium Software\MBSW\17\Data\export)
