XML Import is the means to update the object configuration by XML files.
XML Import can be started:
- from D2000 CNF by selection of an item Objects / XML Import from main menu, it opens a dialog box
- from process D2000 Event Handler by ESL function %XML_ImportD2ObjFromDocument
- from process D2000 GrEditor by selection of an item Configuration / XML Import from main menu
The object configuration will be exported into directory intended for an automatic export when following conditions are met:
- XML Import runs on the client process and XML Repository is in active status or Automatic XML Export after object save is checked off,
- files are not imported directly from the directory intended for automatic object export or from some of its subdirectory.
At XML Export there are created, except for XML files, the binary files with bin suffix. They contains an additional data of objects. These files are necessary for XML Import. More detail information on binary data of XML file is mentioned in a description of properties of SDT_RAW_DATA type.
An evaluation of <CRC> section affects the object modification time after the XML Import has been executed.
XML Import allows changing the parent, but only for the objects of I/O tag, Event, Database or Table type.
The result of XML Import is influenced by the setting of import parameters:
| Parameter | Import from the processes | ESL function |
|---|---|---|
| DB_ASYNC | Setting of the parameters at import from CNF (dialog box). | ON or set |
| UID_STRICT | ON or set | |
| UID_USEXML | OFF or set | |
| IGNR_CHECK | OFF or set | |
| UPD_VARS | ON or set | |
| GROUP_ADD | ON or set | |
| IGNR_REFS | OFF or set |
Note 1: XML Import does not import
object life logs of CVS
type from XML files.
Note 2: The information about XML Import of object is written into
logging database - System
class. The reason (creation of object, modification, ...) that has caused
the import is written into the column "Description".
The column "Incident"
contains the term "XML Import" or "XML Import from
<import_directory>", where <import_directory> is a directory which
contained that imported XML file.
Warning: The membership of objects in logical groups mentioned in MEMBEROFLOGGROUP section of XML file has a specific behaviour in XML Import. It always replaces the previous list of logical groups in which the object exists (as if GROUP_ADD = OFF). It searches the logical groups according to UID of object first. If the connection fails it searches the object according to NAME (as if UID_STRICT = OFF).
