Start Template Export

Explanation

This is the last activity in the Export Template to File process and the following is performed:

• The existence of the the source template is verified.
• For all active Logical Units in all active components that support Company Templates, an export view will be used to extract data associated with a particular Logical Unit from the selected source template.
• The processing is done per component and the processing order is determined from the relationship between the component and parent component as defined in the Component Registrations window.
• Within a component, the processing order of Logical Units is determined from the Execution Order, as defined per component in the Component Registration window.
• Only components selected in the Export Company Template to File Assistant dialog will be processed. 
• Depending on the export mode, one basic data template file per component or a single template file is created. The export mode also determines whether or not translation files will be created.
  Basic data Company Template files will be named according to the following formats:

• CompanyTemplate_<Template_Id>.ins 
  e.g., CompanyTemplate_STD.ins
  This will be used if you have selected to create a single Company Template file.
  
• <COMPONENT>_CompanyTemplate_<Template_Id>.ins
  e.g. ACCRUL_CompanyTemplate_STD.ins
  This will be used if you have selected to create one Company Template file per component.
  
  <COMPONENT> will be the registered component name in uppercase.

If translations should be exported, the created files will be named according to the following formats:

• CompanyTemplate_<Template_Id>_<Lng>.ins 
  e.g. CompanyTemplate_STD_en.ins
  This will be used if you have selected to create a single Company Template file. This file will contain all translations to one specific language related to basic data for all selected components.

<COMPONENT>_CompanyTemplate_<Template_Id>_<Lng>.ins
e.g. ACCRUL_CompanyTemplate_STD_en.ins
This will be used if have selected to create one Company Template file per component. In this case, the translation file only contains translations to one specific language related to basic data for one specific component.

In versions previous to IFS Cloud it was possible to import the Company Template Files into the database via the assistant Import Company Template File. This assistant is no longer available in IFS Cloud due to security reasons. Company Template Files can now be installed via a delivery in Build Place. Refer to Build Place Deliveries/Ordering Deliveries in Technical Documentation for IFS cloud.
