Export Mode (Core Services)

The export mode indicates the type of export to perform when exporting a database. The following values are accepted:

• StrongReferences

  Export this object and all objects it contains.

• AllReferences

  Export this object and all objects it references. This flag cannot be set if the NoReferences flag is set.

• NoReferences

  Export this object only. For example, AF Attributes of an AF Element will not be included. This flag cannot be set if the AllReferences flag is set.

• NoUniqueID

  Don't export UniqueIDs associated with each object.

• DefaultValues

  Export default values.

• Library

  Used to limit the export of a database to include library objects only. Library objects are Categories, all Templates, Enumeration Sets, Reference Types, Tables and the Unit-of-Measure Database.

• Security

  Include Security Descriptors in export. Exporting Security Descriptors will have a performance impact on both Export and Import.

• Flat

  Export hierarchical objects in a flattened style. This includes Elements, Attributes, Attribute Templates, and Event Frames.

• SimplifiedConfigStrings

  Export the simplified form of configuration strings for attributes and attribute templates. The simplified strings will already have parameters substituted and will not include UniqueIDs or point identifiers.

• AppendUnitsOfMeasure

  Append the unit of measure, if any, to the end of attribute values and attribute template values when they are exported.

• PasteOperation

  Use user interface Paste Rules to determine what properties of templated objects should be exported.
