Exporting views

Exporting views saves the view configuration information for the repository to an XML file that is contained in a compressed archive (.zip) file. You specify the location of the file when you export the configuration.

Exporting the configuration is useful for several purposes:

• As a snapshot of the system's configuration at a point in time, such as before making major changes.
• As a backup of the configuration in case of disaster.
• To copy to another Meridian Enterprise Server server for import.

To export the active views:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the Repositories group, click Views. The Explorer Views page appears and lists the existing views.
2. In the app bar, click EXPORT. A dialog box appears to prompt you for which repositories you want to export the views.
3. Select one or more repositories for which you want to export the views and then click EXPORT. The file Views.zip is downloaded by your browser and you are prompted for what to do with it.
4. Save or open the file.
