Configuration Export
...
Configuration Export is the way that model details applications and miscellaneous configuration components are exported from PhixFlow. You may want to export model details your configuration for a number of reasons - e.g. to back up a model an application, or set of configuration components, you are working on, ; or so that you can import it somewhere else.
...
The Data is exported to an XML file (format) for download via the browser. You can drag
The export pane can also be used to assemble a set of configuration components and copy them.
Drag and drop model elements (streams, collectors etc) from other panels into this panel and then hit the button to export the selected objects.
Objects exported to an XML file can be modified elsewhere (i.e. in another PhixFlow Instance) and re-imported to the Instance that they were exported from. To prevent mix-ups, when this happens :
- 1. The links to other PhixFlow elements are retained
- 2. The pipes to those other PhixFlow elements are set to NOT Enabled
- 3. When an imported element name is the same as an elements that already exists, the imported name is changed by adding "_2" to it (or "_3" if "_2" already exists).
The button will create copies of the selected objects in the current PhixFlow instance - changing the names by adding "_2" to them (or "_3" if "_2" already exists). either the export or copy button.
