Setting Common Export Options

Through the Export Options page, you can specify the common export options that will be applicable to all exports irrespective of the configuration selected. The options available in the Common export configuration settings area are not specific to any configuration and are applicable to all export operations. The gateway uses the export options specified in the area during the export.

To specify the common export options, do the following in the Common export configuration settings area based on your need:

• In the CSV area, select the Generate CSV File check box if you want to generate a CSV file along with the EIWM and SVG files. If you select this check box, a .csv file that contains the same information as as the EIWM file is generated and placed in the staging area. This check box is cleared by default.

• In the Context Configuration area, enter a context name in the Context Name box. You can use the context name to specify a context for the exported data. You can provide a nested context by providing the highest context first followed by a "+" or "|"symbol and so on. For example, ROOT+PARENT+CHILD (or ROOT|PARENT|CHILD). By default, the context is PROJECTCONTEXT.

• For the File Suffix box, enter a file suffix. Based on the file suffix you provide, AVEVA™ Asset Information Management picks up the relevant XSLT file to process the exported EIWM. However, before you choose this option, make sure that the relevant XSLT file is already present with AVEVA™ Asset Information Management. By default, the file suffix is _null which means that AVEVA™ Asset Information Management will process the EIWM file without any XSLT. For more information about XSLT files, refer to the AVEVA™ Asset Information Management Workhub and Dashboard Installation Guide.

• Select the Generate folder.vnet file check box if you want a folder.vnet file to be generated. The folder.vnet file contains information about the class in which the generated SVG file must be placed and the context in which the object must be saved. By default, this check box is cleared.

• Select the Generate trigger.start file check box if the output files (EIWM and SVG files) of the exported elements must be picked automatically by the Import Controller for processing in AVEVA™ Asset Information Management. By default, the check box is cleared. If you select the check box, make sure that the staging area of the output files is listed as a watch folder in the Import Controller. For more information about the Import Controller, refer to the AVEVA™ Asset Information Management Workhub and Dashboard Installation Guide.
