TiCon4 enables the export of elements. One or more elements are written into an external file which can be imported into another TiCon4 application of the same version.
There are different options to export an element. To do so, select the element(s) required and use the required function:
1) Explorer ribbon \ Export
2) Context menu \ Export
There are three types of export:
•As TiCon4 file
On the basis of XML (*.t4) - The data are exported in a TiCon4-specific file format. The elements can be imported to another TiCon4 database afterwards.
•As TiCon3 file
*.tsd - The data are exported in a TiCon3-specific file format. The elements can be imported to another TiCon3 or TiCon for SAP database afterwards. Import of this export file into a TiCon4 database is not possible.
Please note: |
