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

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. Inherited methods Name Inherited from Description onProgress(): Promise<void> Protected IModelExportHandler This method is called when IModelExporter has made incremental progress based on the IModelExporter.progressInterval setting.
