It is also possible to write the complete ITP/MDK Repository database to a file. This is done with a tool called repdump. To read this file in another database the tool repload is used.
Please note that this functionality is primarily intended to be used as a means to migrate the database to a different DBMS. It is not intended as a document life-cycle support mechanism. It can, however, be used to make a safety duplicate (back-up) of the database.
Note
The dumping ITP/MDK Repository version must be the same as the loading ITP/MDK Repository version.
