Implementation overview

• - internal feature (not documented)
  PropertyHandle :: Import ( cpath, copy_type=COPY_all )
• Import data by means of data source definitions
  PropertyHandle :: Import ( prophdl_ref, exc_name )

Implementation details

1. - internal feature (not documented)
   logical PropertyHandle  :: Import ( NPath &cpath, COPY_Options copy_type=COPY_all )
   

   • cpath - Complete file or directory path
   • copy_type - Copy type

     The copy type determines the way of copying instances. Depending on import, export or copy processes, the meaning differs slightly.

     Default: COPY_all

2. Import data by means of data source definitions
   logical PropertyHandle  :: Import ( PropertyHandle &prophdl_ref, NString &exc_name )
   

   The function allows importing data from a source property handle (prophdl_ref) by means of data source definitions. Data source definitions are either selected by exchange name passed in exc_name, which must be the data source name for all properties to be imported or by using the first data source (when exchange name is empty).

   Exchange data source definitions for properties must provide valid names or expressions in the context of the data type passed via prophdl_ref.

   When an instance is selected in the source property handle, only the selected instance will be copied. Otherwise, the complete collection excluding instances filtered out by filter condition is copied.

   • prophdl_ref - Reference to Property handle
   • exc_name - Exchange name

     The exchange name is a data source name to be used for data exchange.
