Web UI configuration definitions can be exported as comments using Advanced STEPXML. These exports are intended to be used for submission to external source control systems for comparison purposes. Users can import them into source code repository systems where they can be compared from version to version. Editing and/or import of these files is not supported (e.g., users may not export, edit the comments, and re-import in STEP).
To export a Web UI definition for external comparison, Advanced STEPXML must be used and the DefinitionsAsComments tag must be set to 'true'.
On the Select Format step of the outbound tool, choose the Advanced STEPXML format, then copy and paste the following text into the Template field:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<STEP-ProductInformation DefinitionsAsComments="true">
<PortalConfigurations ExportSize="All"/>
</STEP-ProductInformation>
An example of the output for a Web UI definition as comments is shown below:
<PortalConfigurations...>
<!--Definition:[This is the Web UI definition. Removed for brevity.-->
[Remaining configuration]
</PortalConfigurations>
Note: The content of the comment field is not part of the STEPXML XSD and therefore Stibo Systems reserves the right to change the format of the output content at any time.
