You can import lists
of terms stored in either XML or CSV format into SAS Business Data
Network. This feature enables you to add any number of terms to SAS
Business Data Network without having to add them individually. Instead,
you can include them in a file and then import the file.
You can also export
selected terms from SAS Business Data Network into files that use
an XML format. The exported terms can be imported into other SAS Business
Data Network installations.
The entity definition
export feature in SAS Business Data Network enables you to define
one or more business terms with the correct attributes. Then you can
export that set of terms into an Entity Definition file that can be
imported in Master Data Foundation projects or SAS MDM.
SAS Business Data Network
contains a command-line application to import relationships into the
Relationship service. This tool enables you to disable importing relationships
when you run XML and CSV import operations and run the import relationships
later. This approach improves the performance of the import process.
