serverContextId

Context identification, from edmiDefineServerContext

remoteRepositoryName

The name of the edmRepository in the remote _ EDMdatabase ^_ that contains the edmModel to export into the local _ EDMdatabase ^{_} . Repository names are case sensitive.

remoteModelName

The name of the edmModel in the remote _ EDMdatabase ^_ to to export into the local _ EDMdatabase ^{_} . Model names are case sensitive.

localRepositoryName

The name of the edmRepository in the local _ EDMdatabase ^_ that contains or that shall eventually contain the edmModel specified by the argument <localModelName>. Repository names are case sensitive.

localModelName

The name of the edmModel to create, update or overwrite in the local _ EDMdatabase ^_ . Model names are case sensitive.

diagnosticFile

Specifies the name of the file that shall receive the diagnostic information generated by this function. If this argument is NULL, all diagnostic information will be written to the _ EDMinterface ^_ current output device. The _ EDMinterface ^_ current output device can be defined by the edmiDefineOutputFunction operation.

schemaName

The name of the Express Schema in the local _ EDMdatabase ^_ to be used as base for the exported data. If this Express Schema does not exist in the local _ EDMdatabase^, it may be automatically downloaded by using one of the options _ DOWNLOADING_SCHEMA_IF_REQUIRED or DOWNLOADING_SCHEMA

options

See list of available options below.
  Options may be combined by the bitwise OR operator.

nWarnings

Variable that will receive the number of warnings resulting from the exporting of the edmModel

nErrors

Variable that will receive the number of errors resulting from the exporting of the edmModel

sdaiError

Variable that will receive any _ EDMinterface ^_ error code resulting from the exported data it self. System errors in general wil will not be returned in this variable.

DELETING_EXISTING_MODEL

If the edmModel that is specified by the argument <localModelName> already exists it will be deleted and recreated before the remote edmModel is imported.

DELETE_INSTANCES_WITH_REFS

If an edmModel is implicitely implicitly created, this option will disable one of the models built in features, thereby improving its data manipulation performance.
  This option enables deletion of referenced instances without removing of the references them selves.
Use this option with extreme care. Never on models that are ment meant to remain persistant persistent in the _ EDMdatabase ^_ . This option may lead to inconsistant inconsistent populations containing references to non-existing instances.

DELETE_INSTANCE_REFS_ON_DELETE

If an edmModel is

implicitly created, this option will disable one of the models built in features, thereby improving its data manipulation performance.

  This option causes all external references to an instance to be deleted automatically when the instance it self is deleted.

Use this option with care. Preferably not on models that are

meant to remain

persistent in the

EDMdatabase

.

UNPACKED_MODEL

No garbage collection for the edmModel when data is freed on data deletion or data change. The disk space used for the actual edmModel will normally increase.
  This option can influence the system performance.

USER_CONTROLLED_INVERSE

If an edmModel is implicitely implicitly created, this option will disable one of the models built in features, thereby improving its data manipulation performance.
This option prevents automatic update and maintenance of the INVERSE attributes in the actual model.
Use this option with care. Preferably not on models that are ment meant to remain persistant persistent in the _ EDMdatabase ^_ .

NO_INSTANCE_REFERENCES

If an edmModel is

implicitly created, this option will disable one of the models built in features, thereby improving its data manipulation performance.

This option prevents the creation and maintenance of "instance references tables". As a result of this, the following operations will not work:

• The built in function USEDIN. 
• The

• EDMinterface

• operations: edmiUsedIn, edmiUsedInBN, and edmiGetInstanceReferences
• The ExpressX function xpxGetInstanceReferences
• Use this option with care. Preferably not on models that are

• meant to remain

• persistent in the

• EDMdatabase

• .

LOG_TO_STDOUT

Any logged information will be written to the _ EDMinterface ^_ current output device. The _ EDMinterface ^_ current output device can be defined by the edmiDefineOutputFunction operation.

ADD_TO_EXISTING_MODEL

The population of the exported remote edmModel will be added to the population of the existing local edmModel. The exported data must be based on the same underlying Express Schema as that of the existing edmModel.
This option enables merging of populations from two or more edmModels.

LOG_TO_FILE

Any logged information will be stored in the file specified by the <diagnosticFile> argument.

DELETING_EXISTING_SCHEMA

If the option DOWNLOADING_SCHEMA is used and the Express Schema already exists in the local EDMdatabase^, the local Express Schema will be overwritten by that used for the remote edmModel.

DOWNLOADING_SCHEMA

The Express Schema used for the edmModel in the remote EDMdatabase^, will be downloaded to the local EDMdatabase^. Use the option DELETING_EXISTING_SCHEMAS if you want to overwrite an existing local version of the Express Schema.

DOWNLOADING_SCHEMA_IF_REQUIRED

The Express Schema used for the edmModel in the remote EDMdatabase^, will be downloaded to the local _ EDMdatabase ^_ , but only if it does not already exist.

LOG_ERRORS_AND_WARNINGS_ONLY

Limits the logging to include nothing but the instances that generate errors or warnings.
