Working with loader files
The loader file name consists of a prefix, which is defined by the user, and a standard string that has the following format:
<loader-file-prefix>-op-config.xml
-
<loader-file-prefix>
is the user-defined portion of the loader file name. -
-op-config.xml
is the standard string that follows the prefix and identifies the file as a loader file to the ObjectManager tool. Do not change this portion of the file name.
When you pass a loader file parameter to the ObjectManager tool, you pass only the prefix portion of the
loader file name. If no prefix is provided, the ObjectManager tool attempts to load from or write to the
file op-config.xml
.
Import example
If you want to load (import) data into the OpenPages repository, you could, for example, create a loader file with
the name mydata-op-config.xml
(prefix + standard string). When you pass the prefix
mydata
to the ObjectManager tool, the
ObjectManager tool automatically looks for a loader
file that is named mydata-op-config.xml
.
Export example
If you want to extract (dump) data from OpenPages, you could, for example, pass the prefix
myconfig
to the ObjectManager tool.
The ObjectManager tool automatically creates an export
(dump) file that is named myconfig-op-config.xml
.
