Methods

Name Description
constructor(source: IModelDb | IModelExporter, target: IModelDb | IModelImporter, options?: IModelTransformOptions): IModelTransformer Construct a new IModelTransformer  
detectElementDeletes(): Promise<void> Detect Element deletes using ExternalSourceAspects in the target iModel and a brute force comparison against Elements in the source iModel.  
detectRelationshipDeletes(): Promise<void> Detect Relationship deletes using ExternalSourceAspects in the target iModel and a brute force comparison against relationships in the source iModel.  
dispose(): void Dispose any native resources associated with this IModelTransformer.  
hasElementChanged(sourceElement: Element, targetElementId: string): boolean Protected Returns true if a change within sourceElement is detected.  
initFromExternalSourceAspects(): void Initialize the source to target Element mapping from ExternalSourceAspects in the target iModel.  
onDeleteElement(sourceElementId: string): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onDeleteElement that is called when IModelExporter detects that an Element has been deleted from the source iModel.  
onDeleteModel(_sourceModelId: string): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onDeleteModel that is called when IModelExporter detects that a Model has been deleted from the source iModel.  
onDeleteRelationship(sourceRelInstanceId: string): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onDeleteRelationship that is called when IModelExporter detects that a Relationship has been deleted from the source iModel.  
onExportCodeSpec(sourceCodeSpec: CodeSpec): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onExportCodeSpec that imports a CodeSpec into the target iModel when it is exported from the source iModel.  
onExportElement(sourceElement: Element): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onExportElement that imports an element into the target iModel when it is exported from the source iModel.  
onExportElementMultiAspects(sourceAspects: ElementMultiAspect[]): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onExportElementMultiAspects that imports ElementMultiAspects into the target iModel when they are exported from the source iModel.  
onExportElementUniqueAspect(sourceAspect: ElementUniqueAspect): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onExportElementUniqueAspect that imports an ElementUniqueAspect into the target iModel when it is exported from the source iModel.  
onExportFont(font: FontProps, _isUpdate: undefined | boolean): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onExportFont that imports a font into the target iModel when it is exported from the source iModel.  
onExportModel(sourceModel: Model): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onExportModel that is called when a Model should be exported from the source iModel.  
onExportRelationship(sourceRelationship: Relationship): void Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onExportRelationship that imports a relationship into the target iModel when it is exported from the source iModel.  
onExportSchema(schema: Schema): Promise<void> Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.onExportSchema that serializes a schema to disk for IModelTransformer.processSchemas to import into  
onTransformElement(sourceElement: Element): ElementProps Protected Transform the specified sourceElement into ElementProps for the target iModel.  
onTransformElementAspect(sourceElementAspect: ElementAspect, _targetElementId: string): ElementAspectProps Protected Transform the specified sourceElementAspect into ElementAspectProps for the target iModel.  
onTransformModel(sourceModel: Model, targetModeledElementId: string): ModelProps Protected Transform the specified sourceModel into ModelProps for the target iModel.  
onTransformRelationship(sourceRelationship: Relationship): RelationshipProps Protected Transform the specified sourceRelationship into RelationshipProps for the target iModel.  
processAll(): Promise<void> Export everything from the source iModel and import the transformed entities into the target iModel.  
processChanges(requestContext: AuthorizedClientRequestContext, startChangesetId?: string): Promise<void> Export changes from the source iModel and import the transformed entities into the target iModel.  
processChildElements(sourceElementId: string): Promise<void> Import child elements into the target IModelDb  
processCodeSpec(codeSpecName: string): Promise<void> Cause a single CodeSpec to be exported from the source iModel and imported into the target iModel.  
processCodeSpecs(): Promise<void> Cause all CodeSpecs to be exported from the source iModel and imported into the target iModel.  
processDeferredElements(numRetries: number = 3): Promise<void> Import elements that were deferred in a prior pass.  
processElement(sourceElementId: string): Promise<void> Cause the specified Element and its child Elements (if applicable) to be exported from the source iModel and imported into the target iModel.  
processFonts(): Promise<void> Cause all fonts to be exported from the source iModel and imported into the target iModel.  
processModel(sourceModeledElementId: string): Promise<void> Cause the model container, contents, and sub-models to be exported from the source iModel and imported into the target iModel.  
processModelContents(sourceModelId: string, targetModelId: string, elementClassFullName: string = Element.classFullName): Promise<void> Cause the model contents to be exported from the source iModel and imported into the target iModel.  
processRelationships(baseRelClassFullName: string): Promise<void> Imports all relationships that subclass from the specified base class.  
processSchemas(requestContext: AuthorizedClientRequestContext | ClientRequestContext): Promise<void> Cause all schemas to be exported from the source iModel and imported into the target iModel.  
processSubject(sourceSubjectId: string, targetSubjectId: string): Promise<void> Recursively import all Elements and sub-Models that descend from the specified Subject  
shouldExportCodeSpec(_sourceCodeSpec: CodeSpec): boolean Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.shouldExportCodeSpec that is called to determine if a CodeSpec should be exported from the source iModel.  
shouldExportElement(_sourceElement: Element): boolean Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.shouldExportElement that is called to determine if an element should be exported from the source iModel.  
shouldExportElementAspect(_sourceAspect: ElementAspect): boolean Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.shouldExportElementAspect that is called to determine if an ElementAspect should be exported from the source iModel.  
shouldExportRelationship(_sourceRelationship: Relationship): boolean Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.shouldExportRelationship that is called to determine if a Relationship should be exported.  
shouldExportSchema(schemaKey: SchemaKey): boolean Protected Override of IModelExportHandler.shouldExportSchema that is called to determine if a schema should be exported  
skipElement(sourceElement: Element): void Protected Mark the specified Element so its processing can be deferred.
