The swExport tool can be used to export a SystemWeaver Graph. Using this tool, you can implement your own application that can utilize the swExport.exe for graph export based on your organization's needs. To obtain the tool, contact your internal IT department or [email protected].
Prerequisites
- A configurable graph to export
- SystemWeaver version Lunden (R45) or later
- An installation of swExport
Required Meta Model
Graph export has no required meta model, or item structure. It is suitable for all configurable graph use cases.
