Extracting means saving the import definition to a file on the local hard drive. To extract the current definitions, press the blue Extract button on the toolbar. The file extracted can be uploaded into the same or another MET/TEAM system to make an import definition from it. The file format is similar to that of the definition files used in MET/TRACK.

Note: When upgrading to a new version of MET/TEAM, prior import definitions will have to be re-validated, as changes to the business logic may invalidate the prior definition.
