To Export Data to XML

You can export data to an XML file from any form that supports this functionality. A form has this functionality when the Export as XML menu command is available if you click Clipboard on the form toolbar after you select an entity. For example, navigate to the Generic Inquiry (SM208000) form, select an inquiry, and notice that this menu command is available. For more information about import, see Importing and Exporting Data to Excel and XML.

To Export Data to XML

  1. Open the form whose data you want to export.
  2. In the summary or selection area (if the form has such an area), use the form elements or navigation buttons to select the record you want to export.
  3. On the form toolbar, click Clipboard > Export as XML.
  4. Follow the necessary steps, which depend on your browser and settings, to download the XML file with the exported data.
Attention:
If a file is attached to the form whose data you want to export, this file is not exported. When you import data to the form, you need to attach the file manually. For example, if you have exported to XML a file data provider that has a file attached to the Data Providers (SM206015) form, you need to attach the file to the data provider manually when you import the data of the provider.
