Configuration Export

Configuration Export is the way that model details are exported from PhixFlow. You may want to export model details for a number of reasons - e.g. to back up a model you are working on, or so that you can import it somewhere else.

The Configuration Export panel contains the list of objects that are to be exported.

The Data is exported to an XML file (format) for download via the browser.

You can 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).
