What is Custom Data?
Code Insight 6.14.2
Custom data refers to user-created licenses, components, and component versions. When custom data is exported, it is written to a custom data XML file (customData.xml) that is separate from an exported workspace XML file (workspaceData.xml). The following rules apply to the export and import of custom data:
| • | Custom data is exported any time you export a workspace which references custom data. |
| • | If multiple workspaces are exported all at once, only one custom data XML file containing all the pieces of custom data referenced by all of the exported workspaces is generated. |
| • | To export all of the custom data form the Core Server, use the -export_all_custom_data flag. |
| • | Custom data can be imported along with a workspace which uses that custom data, or the custom data can be imported by itself. |
| • | If you attempt to import a workspace into a database that does not contain custom data used by that workspace, the workspace import will fail. |
