Exporting from the MDS Repository into the Tool

The user may modify imported metadata, and then “export” it out of the MDS repository using the MetaXML utility’s “export” functionality. MDS provides another XSLT file to then transform this XML back into CWM/XMI schema (it is the “MetaXML_CWM.xslt” file in the tools directory). The user would apply this XSLT to the exported XML to get CWM/XMI XML, which could then be imported back into the tool. Note that since the top-most object is placed in the CWMRDB_Catalog or CWM_Model class of the CWM_Metamodel, the user should identify this object as the one for the “export” out of the MDS repository.

Currently MDS does not provide a GUI interface for this procedure, so you must use the steps above to accomplish this task. (This is a candidate for a future enhancement.)

See the Teradata Meta Data Services Programmer Guide (B035‑3047) (the “MetaXML Scripting Interface” chapter) for more information about exporting objects out of the repository using MetaXML.
