Migrate Multiple Solutions, Interfaces, Datasets, and Files

IWS for EDS interfaces (EDS Tool) allows you to export multiple solutions, interfaces, datasets, and additional files at once. This ability is available in EDS tool version v2.0.10.51 (release IWS_2021_02_09).

To migrate multiple solutions:

  1. Open IWS for EDS interfaces (EDS Tool).
    You see the EDS starting page.

  2. In the left navigation pane, click Migrate.
    You see the Select desired items to migrate window. The page is comprised of two panes. The Available Solutions pane on the left displays a list of all available solutions. The Selected Items pane on the right displays the solutions you selected for migration.

  3. To add a solution to the package, in the Available Solutions pane, select the check box next to the solution name.
    The Selected Items pane shows the selected solution with all its content and dependent items. Be aware that there are two ways to see available data. The Solutions tab and the Files tab at the bottom of the window allow you to switch between Solutions and Files views. The Files view is very useful if you need to add any files which are not part of any solution.
