Understand the Transfer YAML file content

With the Transfer Model Object from View feature, a Transfer file is created.

It allows, for example, to move some Model Objects to another Project to split your Project into several smaller pieces.

Transfer file details

The transfer file should look like the following:

configurationName: 'biGENIUS.Implementation.Generator.VaultAndMart.Mssql'
configurationVersion: '1.X.X'
semanticModelObjects:
  - id: 'ef3ed981-c5e6-4d6e-a51e-da53f6cd9c08'
    name: 'CreditCard'
    description: 'Generated Model Object from CreditCard'
    modelObjectTypeId: 'ac3f7f40-3068-47df-af3d-c6990ad73f7d'
    terms:
      - id: 'b0599d42-7940-4661-b4d2-e5242cf11c2f'
        name: 'BG_LoadTimestamp'
        description: 'Default term with the load timestamp'
        defaultTermId: '3fdfd83b-00b6-47e7-b139-9b25993626ac'

          platformDataTypeId: '77e450ef-2083-4296-a00e-3da0da7ad152'
        ....
