With these features Canvas enables you to:
- Export configurations of a component in JSON format.
- Export configurations of many components in bulk.
- Import configurations of a component in JSON format.
Bulk Export
Bulk Export utility feature enables the user to generate the queries related to a Workspace/App/Form.
For Bulk Export, select the Workspace/Apps/Forms, click the export icon on the Workspace Canvas List/App List/Form Definition List as shown in the following screen shot.
Newly generated queries will be saved in the Canvas workbench folder. For example,
Path: D:\Canvas\CodeGen\generated\wdktemplate\1.0\BulkExport
The difference between Bulk Export and generating query by right clicking a Workspace/App/Form are follows:
- The Bulk Export utility feature generate all the queries (queries of Workspace, Workspace Menu, App, View, Form) related to a Workspace, whereas generating query by right clicking generates only the Workspace query.
- Bulk Export utility feature enables the user to generate queries of multiple Apps/Forms by using the checkbox selection.
Query generation for multiple workspaces at a time is not possible as the multiple Workspace selection option feature is not available.
During import of the Bulk Exported query to create another Workspace/App/Form, it will fetch only the configuration details. The database tables and SQL maps have to be configured again.
