Parameters for the ExportApp Utility
You can specify the following export parameters using the Export Application dialog:
Output File
Specifies the name of the file to which the application will be exported. Click Browse to display a standard File Selection dialog.
AppSource Only (-appsource)
Specifies that only application source information (application properties and included applications) will be included in the export file; no component information will be written to the file. Selecting this option is useful when you want to recreate an empty application from an empty export file before importing its components.
Output File Format
Specifies the format of the file to be exported:
EXP
Specifies OpenROAD proprietary ASCII format
XML (-xml)
Specifies XML format
Username (-u)
Lets you use this command as if you were another user, username.
Notes:
• You, not username, own all files created by OpenROAD.
• This entry field can be used only if Execute in Background is enabled.
Log Path (-L)
Specifies the name of a log file. This entry field can be used only if Execute in Background is enabled and Trace Window is set to Yes. If the log path specified is not a full path, the file is created in the ingres\files directory.
Trace Window (-T)
Lets you control display of the Trace window by entering one of the following values:
All
Specifies that the Trace window does appear
Yes
Specifies that the Trace window appears but suppresses informational messages output by the system
Yes (Minimized)
Specifies that the Trace window appears minimized as an icon
No
Specifies that the Trace window does not appear, and a log file is not created
Note: This entry field can be used only if Execute in Background is enabled.
Append to Log File (-A)
Appends the trace output of the current command to the end of the existing error log file. Otherwise, that log file is replaced. This entry field can be used only if Execute in Background is enabled.
Note: The error log file, w4gl.log, is located in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\OpenROAD\Profiles\installation_ID. If the -L flag is passed, a new name and location can be provided for the OpenROAD log file.
Execute in Background
Begins a new process while you are using this utility.
If enabled, Execute in Background makes Username, Log Path, Trace Window, and Append to Log File available for use.
