Overview of Importing/Exporting Procedures and Libraries

Procedures and/or procedure libraries can easily be moved around between iProcess engines so that a procedure developed in one office can be exported, sent to another office and imported on their system to use.

Each command can be used:

•

interactively, following the prompts and questions, or

•

manually using command line options to automatically answer questions and/or suppress questions.

When you use the swutil utility to export or import procedures and/or libraries, you are prompted to answer a number of questions. If you are exporting or importing:

•

a library that contains multiple procedures/libraries, or

•

a procedure that calls sub-procedures,

you have to answer the same questions multiple times, although your answer may be the same for all the procedures/libraries you are processing.

To make the process faster and reduce the level of interaction required, there are:

•

prompts that allow you to specify that the answer applies to all procedures (or sub-procedures), so that the prompt is not displayed again.

•

command line options that allow you to suppress specific prompts and change specific values for all the procedures to be processed by the command.
