Accessing the properties of a user defined query in DPA
Hello,
I'm attempting to migrate only some selected user defined objects from one DPA installation to another. Specifically - queries.
Using the GUI to browse through each user defined query takes up a lot of time. Is there a way to read a query's properties other than using the GUI?
I am new to using DPA and do not see an export option available at the query level. I can export views but the wds file created by the export did not actually import data in the new installation. Your thoughts appreciated.
Thank you and Regards,
-Priya Narasimham

Hi Priya,
You can use the export and import of the WDS file to transfer elements from one installation to another.
Exporting the WDS file:
1. Select File > Export. The Export dialog box appears.
2. In the Export Name field, type a value. This value appears in the Import Name field in the Import dialog box when the WDS file is imported.
3. In the Export Description field, type a description for the exported WDS file. The default value is the name of the server on which the DPA GUI is running and the date on which the export is created.
4. In the File name field, type the filename for the .wds file.
5. Select Browse to choose a location to save the .wds file. If a location is not specified, the file is saved to C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Desktop.
6. In the Export field, select the level from the list of values to export the associated element. Values include:
• None. Do not export this element.
• User. Export only the user-created objects.
• System. Export only the system objects (objects shipped with the base installation).
• All. Export both user-created and system objects.
Use the Set All list box to set a value for all export elements.
7. Click OK.
For Importing the WDS file:
1. Select File > Import. The Open dialog box appears.
2. Navigate to the location of the WDS file to import.
3. Click Open. The Import dialog box appears.
The following read-only fields are displayed:
• The Import Name field displays the name of the WDS file.
• The Import Description field displays the name of the server from which the WDS file was exported.
• The Import Version field displays the version of DPA from which the WDS file was exported.
• The Import Terminology field displays the GUI terminology used by the DPA server from which the WDS file was exported.
• The Destination Terminology field displays the GUI terminology used by the DPA server to which you are importing the WDS file.
4. The Element field displays the name of the DPA element. The Content field displays at what level the element was exported. To exclude an element from import, deselect it in the Import field. To include or exclude all elements, use the Select All and Deselect All buttons.
5. Click OK.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
