With the global repository feature, you can export and import record definitions.
Enable the repository before importing or exporting
record definitions using the repository.
Importing record definitions from the global repository
The procedure for importing record definitions from the global repository is similar to the procedure for importing record definitions from a map. See “Importing a record definition from a map,” in Chapter 7, “Importing Definitions” in the ECMAP User Guide.
In the main ECMAP window, select Application Files | Import Definition | From Repository. The Records/Tables window and the Import Records from Repository window display side by side. All the records in the repository are listed in the Import Records window.
Drag a record that you want to import from the Import Records from Repository window and drop it in the Records/Tables window. The current map now includes the imported record definition.
Exporting record definitions to the global repository
The procedure for exporting records definitions to the global repository is similar to the import procedure.
In the main ECMAP window, select Application Files | Export Definition | Repository. The Records/Tables window and the Export Records window display side by side. All the records in the map are listed in the Records/Tables window.
Drag a record that you want to export from the Records/Tables window and drop it in the Export Records window. The repository now includes the exported record definition.
