For a unit Type, Site, Department, or Folder, you cannot use duplicate names, including
the same name with different cases, with two exceptions: department names can be
duplicated on different sites and folder names can be duplicated on different levels.
3.11 Managing the software database
Each computer running the software contains a local database that records the
information that you enter about the units. If you have multiple computers, you can
configure one computer and then save a copy of this database and load it into the other
computers to avoid unnecessarily reconfiguring each computer. You can also export the
database for use in another application.
3.11.1 Saving and loading a database
You can save a copy of the local database and then load it back to the same computer
where it was created, or onto another computer running the software. The saved
database is compressed into a single Zip file.
While the database is being saved or loaded, you cannot use or modify the database.
You must close all other windows, including target device session windows and AMP
windows. If other windows are open, a message prompts you to either continue and
close all open windows or quit and cancel the database save process.
3.11.1.1 Saving a database
Select File - Database - Save from the Explorer menu. The Database Save window
opens.
Enter a file name and select a location to save the file.
Click Save. A progress bar is visible during the save. When finished, a message
indicates that the save is complete and you are returned to the main window.
3.11.1.2 Loading a database
Select File - Database - Load from the Explorer menu. The Database Load window
opens.
Browse to select a database to load.
Click Load. A progress bar is visible during the load. When finished, a message
indicates that the load is complete, and you are returned to the main window.
3.11.2 Exporting a database
You can export fields from the local database to a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file
or Tab Separated Value (TSV) file. The following database fields are exported:
Appliance flag Type Name
Address Custom Field 1 Custom Field 2
Custom Field 3 Description Contact Name
Contact Phone Comments Browser URL
The first line of the exported file contains the column names for the field data. Each
additional line contains the field data for a unit. The file contains a line for each unit
defined in the local database.
