Importing and exporting analytics

Analytics are imported as part of an Analytics project or packaged analysis app. When you import an Analytics project that contains one or more analytics, it is identified as an analysis app and placed in the Analysis Apps sub-folder.

You can also export an analysis app from AX Server to work with the analytics in an Analytics project.

Importing analytics

To import analytics, you must import the Analytics project that contains them. You can import an Analytics project (.acl file) directly into the Analysis Apps sub-folder, or import a packaged analysis app (.aclapp file) that also contains interpretations.

Whichever method you choose, your project must contain at least one analytic script to run as an analysis app on AX Server.

For steps and additional information, see Import a folder item.

Importing Analytics projects directly (.acl)

Analytics projects with a .acl file extension contain analytic scripts, tables, and data files. You can import these projects directly without packaging them, but they cannot be run in the Analysis App window.

Importing packaged analysis apps (.aclapp)

Packaged analysis apps (.aclapp file) contain analytic scripts, tables, and data files. You can also include interpretations that you created in a related analysis app (.aclx file) using the Analysis App window.

For more information about packaging analysis apps for import into AX Server, see Packaging analysis apps.

Exporting analytics

To export analytics, you must export the entire analysis app that contains them as an Analytics project. All analytics and scripts within the analysis app are exported as a single Analytics project.

For steps and additional information, see Export a folder item.
