Loading All Report Data from the Configuration Application

Use the Load All command from the View menu to load all view, folder, user, system option, report definitions, and template definitions from a flat file (for example, when upgrading from one JADE release to another JADE release in which the class number range has changed).

The Load All command and its corresponding Unload All command provide a transfer and backup utility for all report writer data created by using the JADE Report Writer Designer and the JADE Report Writer Configuration applications.

To load all report writer data from a single extract file

  1. Select the Load All command from the View menu. The Load All dialog is then displayed.

  2. In the File Name text box, enter the name and location of the file from which you want to load all report writer data. (The file should have the default .rwa suffix.) If you are unsure of your file name or location, click the Browse button.

    The common File dialog is then displayed, to enable you to select the appropriate file location.

  3. Click the Load button, to begin the load process and load all view, folder, user, system option, report definitions, and template definitions. A progress dialog is displayed while the data is loading. Click the Cancel button on the progress dialog to abandon the load process at any time, if required.

    Alternatively, click the Close button to return to the JADE Report Writer Configuration application window.

The batch JADE Load utility (jadloadb) enables you to load all report writer data from an existing file into an existing schema. For details, see "Loading All Report Data from the Batch JADE Load Utility".

For details about loading data into an existing JADE user schema (for example, when you load a new user schema and there is associated JADE Report Writer data to be loaded as part of the application release), see "Multiple Schema File Syntax", in Chapter 10 of the JADE Development Environment User’s Guide.
