      Export a Project to be used as a Linked Project

      Export a Project

      To export a Project to be used as a Linked Project in another Project, access the Source Systems overview page for a Project Branch:

      Click on the LINKED PROJECTS tab:

      Then click on the Export button:

      The Export to a Project side panel window is opened:

      Fill in a name and select the Model Objects to export:

      Click on the ADD button.

      The Export file is generated and downloaded to your default browser location:

      Its structure is identical to the Model Object YAML files in the repository.

      Linked Project Data Lineage

      If you have an Enterprise license, there is, in addition, the Data Lineage of the exported Model Objects for the predecessor Model Objects (related to the Model Object with or without a Mapping), for example:

      • Data Lineage in the exported file: all the predecessors Model Objects of the CreditCard_SuperiorCard_CreditCard Business Link:
