Environment variables can be copied into another project

Post by olgc »

If User defined Environment variables can be exported and then imported into another project, that would make parameter management much easier, especially there is one more cloumn "Help Text", and define more data type, like them in Job parameter in Designer.

See viewtopic.php?t=99588
for more detail.

Thanks,

You can "kinda" migrate them now; they're stored in a file called DSParams, which is in the project directory on the server.

Good news awaits in the next ("Hawk") release, with a concept called "parameter sets", which will live in the Repository and will, therefore, be able to be exported/imported, and save having to re-enter lots of parameters in newly created jobs and job sequences.
