"Save View As DXL" script

SystemAdmin - Mon Dec 03 20:39:38 EST 2012
A Kitchen script to save a View in DXL did exist. Just be aware that it has problems with columns that use DXL Layout (doesn't apply escape characters where needed) and it assumes that any underlying column attributes already exist in the target module.

The kitchen script declares a number of include files. The dxl file that it produces also declares some include files. I have bundled up the Main DXL file and INC files in the attached zip file but you will need to alter the declared paths to the INC files to suit.

Because this is being used outside of the Kitchen script environment, there could be some other dependencies beyond the INC files, such as a couple of bitmap icons which might raise a warning prompt but I don't it think will stop it from working. See how you go.

Thanks for the quick reply Paul. That's exactly the script I was after.

Apart from the bitmap dependencies you mentioned, and find.inc not being able to resolve the function "lexicalNumber" (which I hacked out), it's working fine.

I remember making some modifications, to:

• keep the view names as the original, rather than "View 'viewName'"
• generate DXL that did not require user intervention
• ensure all view settings were copied across

When you get that DXL script ready, I sure could use it. I need to get 3 standard views in about 70 documents and this would help tremendously! - Heidi

Assuming you are working with one DOORS database, there is no reason to wait.
