You can exchange information between a staging server and production server, between servers, or between a server and a file system using the Windchill import/export utilities. These utilities read and write system information in an XML format. For information on exporting and importing XML template files, see Creating the Contexts from which Users Work.

The workflow and life cycle administration utilities accessible to the site and organization administrator integrate the import and export functions with administering workflows and life cycles. For life cycle import and export information, see Exportation de modèles de cycle de vie and Importation de modèles de cycle de vie. For workflow import and export information, see Import Workflow Templates and Export Workflow Templates.
