SolidWorks Workgroup PDM includes two utilities that allow you to export all or some of the projects in your vault and import them into another Workgroup PDM vault or a SolidWorks Enterprise PDM vault.
Examples of when you would export and import vault data are:
- Combining the vaults from multiple offices.
- Moving the data from Workgroup PDM to Enterprise PDM.
The document metadata is exported to an encrypted file in XML format. The following information is included in the exported file:
| Documents
|
Vault Settings
|
|---|
| Properties |
Administrators |
| History |
Users |
| Annotations |
Groups |
| Links to attachments |
Permissions |
Export can be performed on a server running Workgroup PDM Server, with a Workgroup PDM vault. Import must be performed on a server with both a destination vault and a copy of the Workgroup PDM source vault.
