Creating XML Templates with Object Definitions

Templates are XML documents that describe dimensional objects. You can save the XML descriptions of all the objects in an analytic workspace or just selected objects, and re-create them later in the same database or in a database on another computer or platform.

To save object definitions in an XML template:

  1. In the Connections navigator, right-click an analytic workspace, cube dimension, cube, or cube measure folder.

  2. Select Save to Template to display the Save to Template dialog box.

  3. Select Save to File to save the template in an XML file on the local system, or Save to Table to save it in a relational table in the same schema as the analytic workspace.

  4. Verify the selection of objects in the Object Selection subpage.

  5. To modify the use of the schema name in the template, use the Options subpage.

  6. Complete the remaining fields to identify the name and location of the saved template. You can overwrite an existing template.
