Changes to “w4gldev backupapp” Commands
In addition to proprietary OpenROAD export files (.exp), the “w4gldev backupapp” command can now import and export applications and components previously exported or imported to XML.
Importing Applications and Components
The “w4gldev backupapp in” command has a new parameter:
-xml
Specifies that the file being imported is in XML format
For more information about this command, see “Command Line Method of Importing a Component from a File” in the Workbench User Guide.
Exporting Applications and Components
The “w4gldev backupapp out” command has three new parameters:
-xml
Specifies to export the file in XML format
-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.
-xmeta
Specifies whether XML metadata (AlterBy, AlterDate, Creator, CreateDate) is exported to the XML file
For more information about this command, see “Command Line Method of Exporting a Component from a File” in the Workbench User Guide.
