Name

wacsxmlout — exports set details as a WACS XML export file

Synopsis

wacsxmlout [--noimages] set_number

Description

The wacsxmlout command is a tool to create an XML export file containing information on a set to allow it to be transported between different WACS installations. wacsxmlout is invoked with a set number (ie set 123) and will create a file named like set123.xml. The XML file wacsxmlout creates contains the set information, all associated download records, associations and idmap records for all of the models featured in the set. Additionally, unless --noimages was specified, it will contain the thumbnail icon, official icon and any additional icons related to the set.

wacsxmlout DOES NOT export the set itself and will need to be recombined with the appropriate zip or movie file when it's loaded into the destination WACS system. These need to be downloaded seperately. Please note that the WACS 0.9.x versions of wacsxmlout generate version 2 export files containing database fields not found in earlier schemas. It is not currently possible to automatically backport a version 2 file onto a WACS 0.8.x or earlier installation.

Sample XML files can be downloaded from the resources section on our demonstration site www.pinkmetallic.com as they become available.
