Converting RDF to REX

Problem

You have limited access to a client, with only certain tools installed. Oracle Reports can be opened locally but no changes can be made without connecting to a database. (Without full VPN this is not possible).

Solution

For very simple changes, like a small change to an existing query, convert to text. Edit the document. Convert back to RDF.
This conversion cannot be done in Oracle reports without access to the database, but it can be done directly on the OS.

rwcon60 source=ARXSGPO.rdf dest=ARXSGPO.rex STYPE=RDFFILE DTYPE=REXFILE BATCH=YES OVERWRITE=YES

NOTE: In my case rwcon60 is case sensitive,

Another use for REX files is to enable comparison.
