If you’re working with a transaction map, the first time you access the Map Directories tab, you’ll see that the EDI Standards Tables location is blank. All the other information is pointing to the default location of <project>\<map>.You can change the directory for any of the map information, but you must identify the location of the EDI standard table for your map.
The Change/Protect buttons to the right of each directory text box are toggle buttons that allow you to change the current directory location. If the button is set to Protect, the directory can not be changes. If the toggle is set to Change, you can change the directory.
The Protect feature is very useful for preventing a shared directory, such as the EDI Standards Tables directory, from being changed when a global directory change is made.
The Change/Protect button works in conjunction with the Change All and Invert buttons at the bottom of the tab page:
Change All – performs global directory changes to all unprotected map directories.
Invert – changes all protected directories to unprotected status and all unprotected directories to protected status.
When you select Change All,
Specifying a map directory
Unprotect the directories you wish to change with the Change/Protect or the Invert buttons.
Select the Change All button.
The Select a Directory window displays.
Select the directory you want to use to store the map information and Select OK to save the changes.
You return to the Map Directories tab. All text boxes with a Change status now contain the new directory path; text boxes that have a Protect status retain the original directory path.
