This window appears when you select Maintain Data Paths from the Scenario Maintenance menu |
Purpose |
This window displays data paths that have already been defined and enables you to add, amend and delete program paths. |
Further information |
For an introduction to data folders and paths, see Data Folders and Data Paths - Introduction. |
Move through list |
You can move through the list using the cursor and <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys in the standard way. |
Add |
To add a new data path, move the cursor to the line below the last entry in the list. Alternatively you can press <F5> to insert an entry into the list, or <F4> to go into 'Add' mode. The prompts are described in detail below. |
Amend |
To amend an existing data path, move the cursor to the required entry and press <Return>. The prompts are described in detail below. |
Delete |
To delete a data path, position the cursor on it and press <F7>. You are asked for confirmation before it is deleted. |
The prompts are:
Folder |
The id of the data folder. Press <F1> for a pop-up enquiry. |
Operator |
(Only if the specified folder is personalised.) Enter the operator's id (up to three characters). |
|
You can leave this blank to create a default data path to be used by all operators who want to export data to the same path; for example when several operators have set up the folders on their PCs in a standard way. |
Note |
This item is case sensitive. 'AMF', 'Amf', and 'amf' are treated as completely different ids. |
Description |
Up to 30 characters of description. |
Global or open file |
(G/O.) Enter one of the following: § G to create or update a GSM text file in the Global file-system. |
|
§ O to create or update a file in the open (host) file-system. |
If it exists |
The action to be taken if the file being exported to already exists. Enter one of the following: § A to append exported information to the existing file. |
|
§ O to overwrite the existing file. |
|
§ P to prompt during export for the action to be taken. |
Note |
To avoid the need for operator input, set this prompt to A or O for scenarios used for EDI spooler exports. |
Unit |
(Only if you entered G at the 'Global or open file' prompt above.) The three character GSM unit-id the file is to be exported to or imported from. |
Path |
(Only if you entered O at the 'Global or open file' prompt above.) Up to 140 characters defining the server, volume and directory (folder) on which an exported file is to be updated or created or an imported file resides. |
Note |
If you are running Windows 95 and you use long folder names (i.e. in excess of eight characters), you need to use the alternative short names recognised by MS-DOS. You can find out what these are through the MS-DOS 'DIR' command, or by right-clicking on the folder in Windows Explorer and selecting 'Properties'. |
