DDX-Format File Extraction (PAR 67676)

From JADE 2018.0.01, you could extract and load files in the XML Device Data Exchange (DDX) format, which extracted and loaded only those properties defined in the JADE Painter. The DDX format in JADE 2018.0.01 was based on the ability to identify system meta data references by name and the contents therefore did not include object OIDs. As a result, it did not include user references to other objects if they exist in the DDX extract.

From JADE 2020, the DDX extract process now extracts all defined non‑virtual primitive properties and primitive array properties on controls. (Virtual properties on other included classes are not extracted.) This change means that if you load DDX files into JADE 2020.0.01 that were extracted in JADE 2018.0.01, there will be many differences in the contents of the DDX file.
