Exporting and Importing Data in QPR ProcessAnalyzer

QPR ProcessAnalyzer models can be exported into .pacm files. A single .pacm file contains one model including the following data:

• Case and Event attributes in the model.
• Views and Bookmarks for which the user doing the export has at least View rights.
• Model specific user rights.

If importing a model from a .pacm file to the same database from which the model was exported, all data in the .pacm file is imported.

If importing to a different database than from which the model was exported, the following restrictions exist:

• Imported Views and Bookmarks are restricted to those that were made by the user that exported the model.
• Model specific user rights are imported if the same UserID-Username combination exists in the target database.
• Users with <All> Administrator rights in the source database aren't given any access rights to the model in the target database unless they also have model specific access rights in the source database, in which case only these model specific access rights are copied.

For .pacm files created in QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2014.1 (and earlier versions of QPR ProcessAnalyzer), attribute values are not supported in bookmarks but from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2014.2 onwards, they are supported.

Note that the export format has changed in QPR ProcessAnalyzer version 2014.2 and this format is not supported in previous versions. Thus, you cannot import a model exported from QPR ProcessAnalyzer version 2014.2 to an earlier version of QPR ProcessAnalyzer.

Importing and Exporting Attributes

You can have only 300 case attributes or event attributes in one model in QPR ProcessAnalyzer version 2014.2 onwards. If you try to import more than 300 attributes (i.e. from a model created in a previous version of QPR ProcessAnalyzer), it will fail and you will get an error message.

When exporting attributes, only the first 300 attributes are exported. This limitation does not concern models created in QPR ProcessAnalyzer version 2014.2 onwards, since a new model can never have more than 300 attributes.
