Exporting Items

You can export model and file versions from the database to the file system. When exporting a file to the file system, the target location can be specified using either a regular file system path or a file scheme path.

Export a model version as an MPH file to the directory C:\\My Models.

// The itemVersionKey variable is initialized elsewhere. The
// filename saved with the model version is automatically used.

ExportModelItemVersionResult result = database
.modelVersionByKey(itemVersionKey)
.exportToDirectory("C:\\My Models");

// The file system path to the exported MPH file.

String filePath = result.exportedLocation();

Export a model version using a custom filename and without its Built, Computed, and Plotted Data.

// The modelLocationUri variable is initialized elsewhere.

ModelItemVersion version = DatabaseApiUtil
.api()
.modelVersionByLocationUri(modelLocationUri);

ExportModelItemVersionParamGenerator p = DatabaseApiUtil.param()
  .forExportModelVersion()
  .withTargetFilename("my_model_no_computed_data.mph")
  .withTargetDirectoryLocation("C:\\My Models")
  .withSourceComputedDataExcluded();

ExportModelItemVersionResult result = version.export(p);

String filePath = result.exportedLocation();

Export a file version to the root directory identified by the common file scheme.

SearchItemVersionResult result = database
.searchItemVersions("my_geometry.mphbin")
.firstOrNull();

database
.fileVersionByKey(result.itemVersionKey())
.exportToDirectory("common:///");

Unlike for example the temp file scheme, the common file scheme does not require an associated model.
