Invocation of this option displays the Save Join Details As Windows file system dialog. The file name defaults to ‘Redpoint Joins [date].txt’, and type to ‘Text (tab delimited) (*.txt)]’. Clicking Save exports details of the joins to a file in the specified location and closes the dialog. Clicking Cancel closes the dialog without saving.
The resultant tab-delimited file lists all joins (simple and multiple), irrespective of any filters applied in the Joins interface. The file contains the following:
•‘RPI Joins’
•‘Server: [external server name] (v[major].[minor] (Build [build]))’
•‘Exported: [date/time]’
•‘Simple Joins ([no.])’
o For each simple join:
§ Table 1
§ Table 2
§ Key Pairs: ‘[Table 1.Key] to [Table 2.Key] and [Table 1.Key 2] to [Table 2.Key 2]]...’
§ State
•‘Multiple Joins ([no.])’
o For each multiple join:
§ Table 1
§ Table 2
§ Table Joins: ‘[Table 1] to [Table 2], [Table 2 to Table n]’
§ State
Note that Export Joins should not be confused with the generic ability to export (for later import purposes) configuration collections (including Joins) from the Configuration Workbench.
