Integration Builder: Show in XML Format option for objects

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

Just want to ask a simple question. In PI 7.4 > Integration Builder, objects have a "Show in XML Format" option. After clicking, it shows 2 tabs "Read XML" and "Write XML". The buttons below are just "Save XML" and "Close".

Question:

1. What are Read XML and Write XML for? They don't seem to export the XML file.

2. Can I edit externally and import a configuration object as an XML file (like the below structure)?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Nard

I figured we can also use WSNavigator. No need to import objects into ESR.
