Importing and Exporting Terms

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.
