Import / Export
Data in IRis 3.0
It is possible to share data
between two or more agencies. The important thing for
each sharing Agency is to keep a unique Site
ID, so the imported data won't erase existing data.
You have a choice of using default IRis query, or
you can create a new query to export specific data.
To Export Data
1. Go to Tools -- Data
Sharing -- Export IRis Data -- Resource Data
2. Select "All Resource
Records with your Site ID code", or create "IRis
Query"
3. Click on
"Select"
4. Click on
"Change" button to change the direction of
where your data will be stored. If your IRis is
installed in default direction ( i.e. C:\program
files\IRis 3.0 ), double click on C:\
folder, double click on program
files folder, double click on IRis
3.0 folder, and double click on pgmxprt
folder. If your IRis is stored elsewhere, follow
the appropriate direction. You can also create a
new folder, name it for example IRis Export, and
store data in it.
5. Click on
"Select" button
6. You should know which
version of IRis your receiver has: If you need to change
it, click on drop down menu in "Data
Format to export to: " and select a
version of IRis.
7. Click on "Create or
Update files" button
8. Click "OK"
button. Note: If you have some files in your
destination folder, for example from exporting
data in previous month, they will be deleted. To avoid
loosing these files you can either chose an
empty folder, or back up the existing folder.
To share data you only need
to save the file "pgmxprt.zip"
on a disk, or send it via Email. You don't need to
save the other files.
To Import Data
1. Save file "pgmxprt.zip"
you received from other agency on your hard drive.
2. Open IRis, go to Tools --
Data Sharing -- Import Iris Data -- Resource Data
3. Click on
"Change" button to locate files to import.
4. Locate "pgmxprt.zip"
file, and click on "Open" button.
5. Follow the on-screen
instruction.
