Import / Export

The <Import> and <Export> elements are used to describe import and export operations. They both contain the same element structure and describe the source and destination for the import/export event. This allows for the source and destination to be of different types, e.g. exporting a search result to a file.

Examples:

• Import
  • Data being imported into an application, such that the application now controls that data.
  • Data being imported onto a host (and thereby the host’s network) from removable media.
• Export
  • Data being exported from an application, e.g. exporting a record as a PDF document.
  • Data being exported onto removable media.

The following example shows an export event that has failed due to a lack of necessary permissions.
