Moving relations between databases
« on: June 15, 2023, 06:42:45 pm »
Hi
We are creating a new database and want to move part of the existing material to the new database. One way of doing this is creating a CSV file to move the elements. But that will not move the relations between the elements.

Another would be to create XML files of packages, but then we cannot control which elements and relations without doing a lot of changes in the source.

Is there a way of exporting the relations in ways more like the csv files? Or any other way?

Thanks
Mats

I think the best procedure would be to

- transfer to new model (either through xml export import, or project transfer)
- delete what is not needed in the new model.

Wot 'e sed!

In our case, we have a special "Transfer" package where we place stuff we want to move and export that package.  (We also note where the items came from in the original repository so that we can automagically return them to their normal "locations" after the export has been done.)
