Export

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 Baustein. To do so, select the corresponding element(s) and use one of the desired functions:

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 is exported in a TiCon4-specific file format. The elements can be imported to another TiCon4 database afterwards.

As TiCon3 file

*.tsd – the data is exported in a TiCon3-specific format. The elements can be imported to another TiCon3 or TiCon for SAP database afterwards. This export file cannot be imported into a TiCon4 database.

Note:

Export as TiCon3 file

The codes of the process time elements were modified in TiCon4. The new process time elements should therefore be created in the target system if required, e.g.

TiCon3

TiCon4

PTSEC

PTS

PTSTD

PTH

Via print form

Via Bausteindruck – Data is exported in a user-defined file format. This export file cannot be exported to another TiCon database.

The file name is generated from the element description and element code if only one element is selected. For several elements the name must be entered manually.

Note:

Characters that are not allowed in file names such as >, |, / are replaced by underscores.

Structure level: Selection of the number of structure levels to be exported

Element configuration: Selection of the element configurations from which the substructures are also to be exported.

The file is created by clicking on OK.

All messages regarding the export are displayed in the status bar at the bottom left and can be viewed in the job list.
