Statistica Enterprise General Document Storage
In the Statistica Enterprise System View, you can add any type of document to a System View folder. This includes Statistica documents such as spreadsheets, graphs, macros, reports, workspaces, rules, and PMML files. It also includes Microsoft Office documents (*.docx, *.xlsx, *.pptx), text files, graphics files, and any other type of electronic document.
For example, suppose you have a Statistica spreadsheet, Poverty.sta, that you want to store in a Statistica Enterprise System View folder. Right-click on the System View folder where you want the document to be stored, and select Insert File.
The Open dialog box is displayed, where you can browse to the location of the file Poverty.sta, and then click the Open button. The file will now be displayed as a child node in the System View folder that was selected. Click the node to display the Insert Object properties page.
As with any other node in the Statistica Enterprise System View, you can expand it by clicking the + sign next to the node.
Then, you can specify access permissions for the file.
Finally, on the Home tab in the Changes group, click Commit to save the file. The file is now stored in Statistica Enterprise, so it will be available from any Statistica Enterprise workstation.
To open or edit the file stored in Statistica Enterprise, select the main node of the file, and in the properties page, click the Open/Edit button.
The file will be displayed. You can edit the file, and save the changes back to Statistica Enterprise.
You can update the file stored in Statistica Enterprise with a file from a Windows folder by clicking the Update from file button. You can also save the file back to a Windows folder by clicking the Save As button.
A document stored in Statistica Enterprise can be opened from within Statistica. In Statistica, select the Enterprise tab. In the Enterprise group, click the Open from Enterprise arrow. You can select Workspace files, Rules files, and PMML files. For any other type of file, select Document.
The Select File dialog box will be displayed, where you can browse to the Statistica Enterprise System View folders to select the document you want. The file will be displayed in Statistica.
Referencing *.svx Files Stored in Enterprise Manager System View
Statistica macro files (*.svb) can reference functions implemented in separate *.svx files. When the *.svx file resides in a Windows folder, that *.svx file is referenced with a line at the top of the *.svb file as follows:
'#Uses "C:\Documentation\ReferenceEnterpriseSVX\SimpleFunction.svx"
But, such an *.svx file can also reside in the Enterprise Manager System View. For example, consider the SimpleFunction.svx file shown in the following System View image.
That *.svx file can be referenced within an *.svb file as follows:
'#uses "*enterprise://Tulsa/SimpleFunction.svx"
