TUTORIALS > IMPORTING AND EXPORTING METADATA
Exporting Metadata
ER/Studio can export metadata in the same formats from which it can import. The difference is that metadata can be
exported from the entire diagram by clicking File > Export or from any of the submodels including the main model by
right-clicking the submodel.
Let’s walk through an example of exporting. We’ll use the model that was built from the XMI file. In this example we
want to export the diagram metadata to Business Objects so the business intelligence folks can use the metadata to
generate reports.
NOTE: You need a separate license for the Export Bridge to continue with this exercise.
1 Click File > Export File > Export Diagram Metadata.
This launches the Export Bridge
2 To select the output type
• In the Type list, click Business Objects Data Integrator.
• Next to Save To, click the folder icon and browse to a file location for the XML file, enter a filename, and then
click OK.
