how to export to disk

Liraky

I noticed that the mining results of some plug-ins have the function of export to disk. I would like to ask how to achieve this function? Because I also want to export the plugin I developed to disk. Thanks a lot if you could give me some advice.

Hi,

The "Export to disk" is enabled if these exists an export plugin for the selected model/object. This is a regular plugin that has the additional @UIExportPlugin annotation that has a description and an extension. THe following snippet shows this annotation for the export of an even tlog to a XES file:

@UIExportPlugin(description = "XES files", extension = "xes")

This line typically follows the @Plugin annotation immediately.

The exporter should have a @UITopiaVariant/@PluginVariant method that takes three parameters (in this order):

1. A UIPluginContext
   
2. The model you want to export
3. A File

See https://svn.win.tue.nl/trac/prom/browser/Packages/Log/Trunk/src/org/processmining/plugins/log/exporting/ExportLogXes.java for the full example for the export of an event log to a XES file.

Kind regards,

Eric.
