Importing and exporting memory variables

The Memory Variables window includes two options to import and export memory variables using the global repository.

NoteEnable the repository before importing or exporting memory variables using the repository.

StepsImporting memory variables from the global repository

The procedure for importing memory variables from the global repository is similar to the procedure for importing memory variables from a map. See “Importing memory variables from another map,” in Chapter 18, “Working with Memory Variables” in the ECMAP User Guide.

  1. In the Memory Variables window, select Options | Import | From Repository.

  2. Select a memory variable from the Import Memory Variables - Repository window and drag and drop it to the Memory Variables window. The current map now includes the imported memory variable.

StepsExporting memory variables to the global repository

The procedure for exporting memory variables to the global repository is the reverse of the import procedure.

  1. In the Memory Variables window, select Options | Export to Repository.

  2. Select a memory variable from the Memory Variables window and drag and drop it to the Export Memory Variables - Repository window. The repository now includes the exported memory variable.
