Import and Export

Import and export is available for most of the definition entities and configuration entities type entities and also some of the iCore system settings. This is a convenient way to share and deploy integrations between a development, test and production iCore system.

It is possible to either export to a file (.ieo-file) or directly to a destination system. When exporting to a file there is also a encryption option available.

Depending on the needs for import or export there are three different tools available.

Old .ieo files

The import and export tools has full backwards compatibility for .ieo files created from version 2.84 or later. Old .ieo files are managed in exactly the same way as new ones.

When importing files that were exported from an iCore system of earlier version where the dates and times were stored in local time, you will be asked to provide the time zone of the dates and times stored in this file to aid in the conversion to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The requested time zone is usually the time zone of the computer on which the source iCore system was running.

Import Export Tool

The main tool for importing and exporting entities to or from iCore systems is the Import-Export tool. This tool is for manual import and export of entities and settings.

note

Import and Export tool is started from the Tools menu in iCore Administrator.
