Yellowfin's export and import modules let you migrate your content betwe= en multiple Yellowfin instances, for example allowing you to transfer conte= nt from one instance to another (such as from QA to production). You = can do this by exporting your content into an external file (such as a yfx = file) and then importing that yfx file into the destination system. = This module enables you to track and compare each file you transfer through= its universally unique identifiers (or UUID), to restrict multiple copies = of the same reports and data from existing in an environment. Therefore, ev= en if the same files have different names, Yellowfin will be able to detect= that they a are match and warn you from copying them, saving you from an o= verload of redundant data from existing in your system.
An important concept to know about here is content dependencies, which w= e will learn about next.
Dependencies are any content that the main or primary content is depende= nt on to function properly in a Yellowfin environment. For example, a repor= t is dependent on a view, and the view on a data source. Therefore, for the= report to work in a Yellowfin instance, it relies on that view and data so= urce to be present in that instance.
Yellowfin's content dependency structure is illustrated below.
When transferring dependencies you don't need to worry about mapping eac= h content with your data; Yellowfin will detect if the correct items are al= ready present in the destination environment. If they aren't, you will rece= ive warnings of the missing data and be asked to assign replacements.
Refer to either of the procedures to learn how to perform the export or = import processes.
Only Yellowfin users and administrators who have special rights an= d permissions to export and import content, can carry out these tasks.
