Importing Globals

Caution:

Before importing any globals, be sure that you know which globals InterSystems IRIS uses and which globals your application uses; see General Advice. There is no undo option. After you import a global into an existing global (thus merging the data), there is no way to restore the global to its previous state.

The Import Globals page enables you to import globals. To access and use this page:

Display the Globals page.
Click the Import button.
Specify the import file. To do this, either enter a file (including its absolute or relative pathname) in the Enter the path and name of the import file field or click Browse and navigate to the file.
Select the import file’s character set with the Character set list.
Select Next.
Choose the globals to import using the check boxes in the table.
Optionally select Run import in the background. If you select this, the task is run in the background.
Click Import.
