Introduction to the Globals Page

Introduction to the Globals Page

The Management Portal includes the Globals page, which allows you to manage globals. On this page, you can:

• Select View in the row for that global to examine it.

• Select Edit in the row for that global to modify it.

• Select Export to export globals.

• Select Import to import globals.

• Select Delete to delete globals.

• Select Find to find values in globals.

This page also includes options for viewing routines and classes; these options are not discussed here.

To access this page from the Management Portal home page:

1. Select System Explorer > Globals.

2. Select the namespace or database of interest:

   • Select either Namespaces or Databases from the Lookin list.

   • Select the desired namespace or database from the displayed list.

   Selecting a namespace or database updates the page to display its globals.

3. If you are looking for a particular global and do not initially see its name:

   • Optionally specify a search mask. To do so, enter a value into the Globals field. If you end the string with an asterisk “*”, the asterisk is treated as a wildcard, and the page displays each global whose name begins with the string before the asterisk.

     After entering a value, press Enter.

   • Optionally select System items to include all system globals in the search.

   • Optionally select a value from Page size, which controls the number of globals to list on any page.
