|
To export or import Holidays and One-Time-Dates to technical support, or a Q++ user at a different location, use the Data Pump (to see how to export to an MS-Excel file, see the next topic).
Select the corresponding menu item from the Data menu, to import/export Recurring Holidays or One-Time-Dates.
To export :
| • | Set the source to QppShare. |
| • | Set the target to a path of your choice. |
| • | If export tables already exist in the selected path, then the exported data will be added to the existing tables. Otherwise Q++ will ask you if it should create the export tables. |
| • | Select the Recurring Holidays or One-Time-Dates you wish to export. |
| • | Select the target Holidays Set. |
To import :
| • | Set the target to QppShare. |
| • | Set the source to a path containing the tables from which to import. |
| • | Select the Recurring Holidays or One-Time-Dates you wish to import. |
| • | Select the target Holidays Set. |
You then have 3 possibilities :
Copy Items |
Copies items selected on the left into the Holidays Set selected on the right. The source and destination sets must be leaves (not folders). |
Set Only |
Creates a duplicate of the Holidays Set selected on the left, below the Holidays Set selected on the right. The destination set must be a folder. Only the set information is copied; none of the holidays rules it contains are copied. |
Set and Items |
Creates a duplicate of the Holidays Set selected on the left, below the Holidays Set selected on the right. The destination set must be a folder. The set information is copied and any selected Holidays Rules on the left. |
Advanced Update |
To compare a holidays set you copied from the Q++ Samples with the original, and lets you update the set in one go. |
Note that you can set both the source and targets to QppShare, which allows you to copy data from one data set to another if the shared database.
Holidays and One-Time-Dates can also be exported to an Excel file, which is not re-useable by Q++, but has the advantage of being a standard format which can be shared with colleagues in other departments such as proof-reading.
