Hi All,

 

What is the difference between the export of a single entity to export "to source control"? Is there any difference other than the indentation?

 

When is it recommended to use the "regular" export?

 

Thanks,
Avihu.

Source control -- Exports ThingWorx entities by collection, model tags, project, start and end dates. The specified entities can be directed to a FileRepository or SourceControlRepositorything. When entities are exported, a file structure is created at the destination that resembles the way a source control system manages its artifacts. If you want to move or copy exported files to another location, you can export the file structure as a zip file.

 

Single file export -- Can export a single entity to a selected local destination (synchronous).
