9.0 Importing and Exporting Components

The Import and Export module primarily works in the background any time you transfer components between the SAP TAO Client and HP Quality Server. The user interface is useful for manual maintenance activities. You may want to transfer components to:

• Back up components on the HP Quality Server or on a hard drive.
• Transport components from one HP Quality Server project to another, or from one server to another
• Download components from HP Quality Center.

There is no limit to the number of components you can import or export.
