Export method for AFLibrary class

As an AF SDK developer, I would like to be able to export AF Server Libraries (https://docs.osisoft.com/bundle/af-sdk/page/html/T_OSIsoft_AF_AFLibrary.htm) to .xml files or strings in order to easily share them with other AF Servers. An example of use case would be libraries hosted in a central/master AF Server that must be periodically pushed to site AF Servers. These master libraries would be used to enforce AF design practices across the enterprise. Currently it seems that the only option is to create a temporary AF Database to import the library into.

    PI AF saved libraries are a critical feature in connecting a fleet of pi servers across an enterprise to central AF Library. This export method will accelerate this for all customers. There would be immediate impact felt from this enhancement.

    The PI digital twin library is stored and maintained as a set of libraries and being able to import and expoert these libraries would enhance this capability.
