Transporting InfoSets
When transporting an InfoSet, the system transports the InfoSet and the assignment of that InfoSet to user groups in the source client.
To import an InfoSet, the appropriate logical database must exist in the target client. Moreover, a thorough check is run on the logical database. This check highlights any inconsistencies between the InfoSet and the logical database.
During an import, the import option REPLACE first deletes the assignment of that InfoSet to user groups in the target client. It then transfers the InfoSet to the target client and copies the assignment of the InfoSet to user groups from the source client, if corresponding user groups exist in the target client.
During an import, the import option GROUP=bg first deletes the assignment of that InfoSet to user groups in the target client. It then transfers the InfoSet to the target client and assigns it to the user group ug of the target client, if such a user group exists.
During an InfoSet import, the import option MERGE makes sure the assignment of that InfoSet to user groups in the target client is maintained. It then transfers the InfoSet to the target client and copies the assignment of the InfoSet to user groups from the source client, if corresponding user groups exist in the target client.
During an import, the import option UNASSIGN first deletes the assignment of that InfoSet to user groups in the target client. The InfoSet is then copied to the target client. The InfoSet is not assigned to user groups.
Note
As described above, the import options REPLACE, GROUP=ug and UNASSIGN delete the assignment of that InfoSet to user groups in the target client first. If, however, a user group in the target client still has queries that refer to the InfoSet, the assignment remains.
