- Maintenance > Dataset Maintenance
- Press the Export button. Only the current dataset can be exported. The Export button is available only if the current dataset is MSSQL.
- Select the tables to export
- Choose to clear any columns upon export (such as Social Security Number). The syntax is Table:Column. Separate each table:column combination by commas. (i.e. N01_NAM_ADR_INF:N01_PHN_NUM_S,N01_NAM_ADR_INF:N01_SSN_FED_ID_S)
- Press Save to save this configuration as the default export setup for this dataset
- Press Export to export the selected tables
- The export process puts several files in the dataset folder
- BulkIOService.Export.zip - the dataset data
- BulkIOService.Schema.zip - the database schema
- BulkIOService.Export.Version.txt - the AGRIS version that is exported
- The export process is complete. Copy the dataset folder to the intended destination (archive, send to Cultura, move to another db server, etc)
- The entire dataset folder is needed after export. There is non-database information in the dataset folder (package initialization files, CFT setup, spooled reports and forms, and more)
- NOTE: The resulting BulkIO files can be quite large. If the exported dataset needs to be moved across a WAN or transferred to ftp.culturatech.com, it is highly recommended to first zip up the numbered dataset directory that contains the BulkIO files (i.e. AGRIS\Datasets\001) and then move/transfer the resulting zip (i.e. 001.zip).
Dataset Import
- Maintenance > Dataset Maintenance
- Press the Import button. The Import button is available only if the current dataset is MSSQL.
- Select the folder to import
- If searching for the import path, note that the AGRIS search window is a file search, not a folder search. Choose any file in the import folder.
- The folder selected must have the 3 export files in it (BulkIOService.Export.zip, BulkIOService.Schema.zip, BulkIOService.Export.Version.txt)
- Do not unzip the export zip files
- Optionally set the dataset number. If blank the next available dataset number will be assigned.
- A dataset from a prior AGRIS version may be imported. A data conversion will run as part of the import process.
