Use an XML File to import a window

You create a command file, and then run WindowMaker with the command file to import a window from an XML file. In addition to importing a window, the command file can be used to:

• Create a new application.

• Delete a window.

• Rename a window.

• Send print information to a file or printer.

• Send a cross-reference to a file.

When the XML import is in progress, the following operations are not supported on a referenced symbol:

• Deleting a symbol

• Renaming a symbol

• Swapping symbol names

However, you can perform these operations after the XML import is complete.

The following system level operations are not supported:

• Launching console sessions

• Switching focus to other applications

You can run the InTouch DBDump and DBLoad utilities from the command line. However, for managed InTouch applications, run the DBDump and DBLoad utilities from the System Platform IDE extension. DBDump creates an export file containing tag information from an InTouch application. DBLoad imports tag information into an InTouch application. For more information about the DBDump and DBLoad utilities, see AVEVA™ InTouch HMI Application Maintenance.
