Hi Folks,
I would like to programmatically (in C# - any .NET language) copy an AF Element Template from one AF Server to another AF server. You can't simply add the source AF Element Template to the "target database" it throws an exception because the database is not correct.
I would prefer not to have to build the templates using the source info as this will get messy. I'm hoping for the magic one liner.
I'm using AF 2.6.1
Try using ExportXML and ImportXML on the PISystem object. This is how the PI Builder (Excel Add-in) works. You could either pass in the single template, or you can build up an AF collection of them such as AFCollectionList<AFElementTemplate> and pass them all in at once. When you call ImportXML you'll pass in the AFDatabase of new destination system.
I've been using it for years, and I still sometimes forget Import/Export is an option. I've had to condition myself to remember it.
