Exporting or Importing Data (SAP Library - CBI Question & Answer Database)

Exporting or Importing Data

Use

Project managers can use the Export/Import function to transfer information for individual projects from the database of a network installation. This function synchronizes offline work with the network server, where the central Q&Adb is stored. This allows you to edit structure items and assigned items offline and import them at a later date.

Prerequisites

You can only export and import structure items for which you are the assigned owner.

Activities

To export a structure item:

Select Administration ® Export.
Use Browse to select the local directory where you want to store the database export.
Choose Start to begin the export.

To import the data you have edited offline back into the Q&Adb:

Select Administration ® Import.
Use Browse to find the local directory where you have saved the database export.
Choose Start to begin the import.

When you carry out an import, you overwrite any changes you have made to the corresponding structure items and associated items in the Q&Adb since the export.

A report containing all the steps for this function, is drawn up for each import and export. The document is stored in the Q&Adb.
