There are four different ways you can select the objects (user groups, InfoSets, queries) to be transported. They are covered by the following transport types:

• Transport user groups

• Transporting InfoSets

• Transporting InfoSets and queries

• Transport queries

You first select no more than one of these transport types. Then, you make further specifications according to the transport type chosen. Each transport type has its own input fields.

For each transport dataset, you define an import option according to the relevant transport type. The import option determines the method used to insert the transport dataset in the table AQLDB of the target client during a later import.

There are four import options, each of which has a short form:

With the transport type Transport user groups, all user groups are transported according to the select option User groups and the chosen Import option. Valid import options are REPLACE and MERGE.

With the transport type Transport InfoSets, all InfoSets are transported according to the select option InfoSets and the chosen Import option. Valid import options are REPLACE, MERGE, GROUP=ug and UNASSIGN.

With the transport type Transport InfoSets, all InfoSets are transported according to the select option InfoSets and the chosen Import option. Valid import options are REPLACE and MERGE. Furthermore, all queries are transported according to the select option Queries, which use the InfoSet, for each of the InfoSets selected in this way. The query user groups are of no relevance here. The only valid import option for these queries is REPLACE. This transport type facilitates the transport of a modified InfoSet and all associated queries.

With the transport type Transport queries, all queries are transported according to the select option User groups and the select option Queries as well as the chosen Import option. Valid import options are REPLACE and GROUP=ug.

If, for example, you want to export the InfoSet FLBU and all the associated queries, you must make the following entries:

You get an export log in the export result. The export log shows which objects (queries, InfoSets, user groups) are exported and which import option is used to import each object during a later import. If you export data to the table AQTDB, the export log still contains the name of the generated transport dataset, which matches the name of the generated transport request.
