Results of exporting templates

You also specify the database type of the target system receiving the template metadata.

For the selected template types, Marketing Operations produces a compressed archive file that contains:

• An xml file named <type>_templates.xml, with metadata for every template of that type.
• An individual directory for each template type that contains a <name>.xml file and a set of localized properties files for every template of that type.

  For example:

  
  

  

  
  
• Directories for any items associated with templates of the selected types, such as roles and milestones, with localized properties files for those items.
• An attachments directory (if any included item has an attachment), with a subdirectory named for each item containing those attachments.
• A forms directory containing form definition files in XML format and separate SQL scripts for the selected database type. These scripts give you control over how you update the target database to work with the new templates when you import them: you can drop all tables and then create new tables for template data, or run only the create or insert scripts to add new columns and tables without deleting existing tables and data.
