Using the Data Pump with Saints and Namedays
To exchange Saints and Namedays to technical support, or a Q++ user at a different location, use the Data Pump (to see how to export Saints to an MS-Excel file, see the next topic).
Select the corresponding menu item from the Data menu, to import/export Saints or Namedays.
To export :
•Set the source to QppShare (ANSI) or Q++ Shared Database (Unicode).
•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 Saints or Namedays you wish to export.
•Select the target Holidays Set.
To import :
•Set the target to QppShare (ANSI) or Q++ Shared Database (Unicode).
•Set the source to a path containig the tables from which to import.
•Select the Saints or Namedays 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 Saints or Namedays 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 Saints or Namedays on the left. |
Note that you can set both the source and targets to QppShare (ANSI) or Q++ Shared Database (Unicode), which allows you to copy data from one data set to another if the shared database.
