Save configuration objects marked with current tag

If you have tagged all objects that you want to merge with a selected database with the same tag without having tagged other objects with this tag, you can create an AMM file only containing the selected objects in a simple action.

  • Workflows and reference data cannot be added to the AMM file created via this mechanism.
  • The configuration is always merged into the target database.
  1. In the menu of Alfabet Expand, select Meta-Model > Reread Meta-Model to ensure that the locally cached version of the Meta-Model is consistent with the Meta-Model saved in the Alfabet database.
  2. In the toolbar of Alfabet Expand select Meta-Model > Set Current Tag.
  3. In the list of tags, click the link that you want to set as default tag to all new and changed configuration objects.

    The selection is removed when the user logs out of Alfabet Expand. If the selection shall be used again in the new session, the selection must be repeated.

  4. In the menu of Alfabet Expand, select Meta-Model > Save Meta-Model Objects Marked by Current Tag. An explorer window opens.
  5. Select a location for storage of the AMM file on the local file system. Optionally you can alter the default name of the file, that is concatenated from the tag name and a time stamp. The file extension must be .amm.
  6. Click Save to save the AMM file in the selected location.
