Export PLDs

[Former Member]

hi.

Can I export PLD to as XML or any other format??

I am facing problems in copying the plds from one database to another using the procedure explained in the SAP Notes.

When i copy to the production database, original values of the database and formula feilds are not retained. They randomly get changed. I need to check every feild again, which is a problem.

If I can export the PLDs as xml (or any other format) i can import them into the production database easily.

Can SDK be used for this??

Thanks and Regards,

Lakshman.

Hi,

The import/export feature in ALD does not work with PLD layouts, only layouts designed in ALD itself (which are a completely different format).

You can use the SAP CopyExpress add-on to import PLD layouts from one company to another. Personally, I use DTS for the import/export of PLD layouts and have never had a problem with it.

Hope this helps,

Owen

I've never used it, but you may try:

Dim pld As SAPbobsCOM.ReportLayout

pld.ToXMLFile("C:MyLayout1.xml") 'TO SAVE

pld.FromXMLFile("C:MyLayout1.xml") 'TO LOAD

Hi Lakshman,

Generally for this situation what i do is I use the SQL server management studio and Import the 2 tables RDOC and RITM.

This process just takes a few min.

So that i can have all the PLD in the new DB also.

If helpful reward with points.

Vasu Natari.
