  Export and Import of Standard XSteps with Reference Nodes Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You have the option of referencing other standard XSteps within XStep trees of the standard XStep repository by generating SXS reference nodes (see SXS References and Parameterization ). The SXS reference node merely contains a link to the assigned standard XStep.

In order to be able to reconstruct the subtree structure you exported, during the XML export you must also export the data of the referenced standard XStep.

Features

During the XML import, the system checks whether the XML files contain all the information necessary to reconstruct the SXSs referenced in SXS reference nodes.

  • If all information is complete, the XML import is carried out.

    Note Note

    SXS versions for SXSs, that are used as reference must subsequently receive the status Released for Test or Released so that the SXS reference relationship becomes valid again.

    End of the note.

  • If information is missing and the reconstruction of the referenced SXSs is thus impossible, the system terminates the XML import.

Activities

Export a folder of the SXS repository containing the complete data record including the referenced standard XSteps. Otherwise the data enabling the referenced standard XStep to be completely set up is missing.
