How can I export documentation programatically?
If you do not want to depend from UI, you can use the IntentHTMLExporter. Here is an example of how to export an IntentDocument stored in a CDO-based Intent Repository.
// Step 1: connect to the Intent Repository Repository repository = IntentRepositoryManager.INSTANCE.getRepository("cdo://localhost:2036/intent-server"); // Step 2: create a repository adapter to get the IntentDocument RepositoryAdapter repositoryAdapter = repository.createRepositoryAdapter(); repositoryAdapter.openReadOnlyContext(); IntentDocument elementToOpen = new IntentDocumentQuery(repositoryAdapter).getOrCreateIntentDocument(); // Step 3: export the IntentDocument using the IntentHTMLExporter new IntentHTMLExporter().exportIntentDocumentation(elementToOpen, "D:/exportFolderLocation", "My Intent documentation", BasicMonitor.toMonitor(new NullProgressMonitor())); // Step 4: close connection repositoryAdapter.closeContext()
