Loading Ad Hoc Definitions

From the Ad Hoc Index Browser, the Load Ad Hoc Definitions command from the Ad Hoc Index menu enables you to load an ad hoc index definitions from an XML file; for example, when you have upgraded to a new Jade version and loaded your schema data. For details about saving ad hoc definitions to an XML file, see "Saving Ad Hoc Index Definitions".

If the loaded definition is unchanged from an existing definition, the load is ignored.

To load ad hoc index definitions from a file

1. In the Ad Hoc Index Browser, select the Load Ad Hoc Definitions command from the Ad Hoc Index menu.

   The common Open dialog is then displayed, to enable you to select the ad hoc definitions file that you want to load into the current schema.

2. Select the source location and XML file that you want to load, and then click the Open button.

All ad hoc index definitions in the file are then loaded into the table in the Ad Hoc Index Browser. As they are all unpopulated, you must build them before they can be used. For details, see "Building an Ad Hoc Index".
