The “Run Project” wizard can export results to different storage (Excel, MS SQL, etc.). To make it it’s needed to determine the type of storage and the name of the file (or table) It can be done with help of the ‘Export’ form (standard master of DME).
Picture 1. The ‘Run Project’ wizard and ‘Export’ form
This can be done by pressing the ‘Export settings’ button on the form of the ‘Run project’ wizard. Chosen settings are saved in the project file and when the wizard is called next time they will be loaded onto the wizard. Settings will be shown in short form on form. The settings can be determined again or exporting can be switched off/on with a checkbox.
Picture 2. The short information about export settings and the checkbox for switching on/off of export.
If the “Run Project” is called a few times, results will be written over again on the same file name and only the last one will be accessible for the user.
To avoid such behavior a new feature has been implemented – a date/time template for exporting from the “Run Project” wizard.
Using such templates allows adding in the name of the exported file (or table) information about the current time of export.
The template is a set of symbols: d,f,F,g,h,H,K,m,M,s,t,y,z inside square brackets.
Below are some examples of usage and short descriptions of used symbols.

Restrictions
- The format of the template
|
If a few templates are used only the first will be implemented |
The enter in Export Form: “export at [H.m.s] No.1 on [M.d.y ]” Name of file (or table): “export at 13.16.4 No.1 on [M.d.y ]” |
|
If order of square brackets is corrupted, then the template will not be implemented |
The enter in Export Form: “export at] [H.m.s] No.1” Name of file (or table): “export at] [H.m.s] No.1” |
- Maximum length of names
When a name of a table is entered it is important to ensure that the length of the name does not exceed the maximum allowed length in chosen storage.
For example, Oracle DB can have a limitation of 30 or 128 bytes, depending on the version of the database, other databases have similar limitations.
