1. To export database information:
a. Define the remote connection parameters, and optionally the project associations, as explained in Creating a model database.
b. Select Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Tools for Business Logic > Component Model Database.
c. Click Export.
d. At the Export Component Database file browser, navigate to the location where you want to save the exported setting, enter a file name with a .xml extension, and click Save.
Other developers can then import the exported settings.
2. To import exported database settings:
a. Select Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Tools for Business Logic > Component Model Database.
