Exporting Packages

Once the changes made in the Package Definition are complete, the Package can be exported using the Export Tool. This utility is a separate executable file named Export.exe that is available on the Aras Innovator CD image or can be downloaded from https://www.aras.com/en/support/downloads.

The Export Tool selects a Package Definition from the database and creates a Package folder structure in the file system. Each Package Group (ItemType, Form, etc.) becomes a separate subfolder in the file. Each exported Item is represented as an AML file with the same name as the exported Item within each subfolder.

The following steps outline the process of running the Export Tool:

1. Download the Export Tool from https://www.aras.com/en/support/downloads.
2. Run Export.exe as administrator.
