Deployment
descriptor files contain the export settings for a project. You can
save a descriptor file when you export a project. On subsequent exports,
you can use the descriptor file to bypass the
Export dialog
box. You can have multiple descriptor files per project. Descriptor
files must end with
.depdesc.
To use a descriptor
file to bypass the
Export dialog box, expand
the project in the Package Explorer or Navigator, right-click the
descriptor file, and select
Export SAS Project.
The project is exported using the settings in the descriptor file.
To use a descriptor
file to populate the
Export dialog box with
the settings in the file, right-click the file and select
Open
SAS Export.
To inspect or change
the settings in a descriptor file, you can open the file as XML by
double-clicking it, and editing values as needed. Unless otherwise
specified, the first descriptor file listed is used to populate the
Export dialog
box.
