Exporting records from the chart surface to iBase

You can select records from external searches that you've added to a chart in the Analyst's Notebook desktop client, and export them to iBase.

About this task

Export behavior depends on how the i2 Analyze to iBase export specification is configured by you or your systems administrator.

Note: If you want to represent a relationship between an iBase record and a record from an external search in the data that you export, you must connect the records with an iBase link. The iBase plug-in creates the link based on the label name, so do not change the link label. Analyst's Notebook links are exported to iBase if the link type between the end records is valid, and has no mandatory properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the records that you want to export to iBase on the chart.

  2. On the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Export to iBase section, click Export. The Export to iBase window opens.

  3. Click Export. The Progress tab in the Export to iBase window updates with information about the export, including the number of records that were added or updated in iBase, the number of errors, and the number of warnings.

    For detailed information, click the Log tab, and use the Find bar to narrow your search. For example, iBase truncates string values that exceed the supported length. When this occurs, a warning is displayed in the log.

The chosen records are exported to iBase.

Note: Any links that you export from external search results are converted into iBase links when the records are exported, provided they have a link type name in the description.
