Report Import/Export and Development Process
When a report developer saves entries in Report Resource Maintenance, or saves report layout definitions in Report Resource Designer or Template Designer, the information is saved into tables in the qadadmin database. The export and import programs provide a way to conveniently get this data into and out of the database by allowing the data to be serialized to and from local XML files.
Use Report Resource Import to import report resource data files into the system.
Use Report Resource Export to export data of specified report resources into .xml files. This function lets you back up report resources or create report resource files to be imported into another system.
