Exporting Fileglobals to excel or txt

I have a sequence that loads tests limits  from a database everytime it runs. It saves these limits as fileglobals.

Because now the sequence needs to work remotely, without access to the database, I was thinking of exporting them into a file from which they could be loaded locally. Then I could send the file (and a modified sequence that loads from it) and that would work for people that need to run it without having access to our network. 

 

I'm not having success with the property loader, is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks

Hi jcarellanov1

Sounds to me like the Limit Loader is the way to go, can you explain what problems you are having using it?  Alternatively you could store your data in any format you like and write a code module to read from it into your FileGlobals when required.

Hi, 

So the Property Loader is only used for importing,  correct? I did a sample sequence trying to export my fileglobals to file, but the resulting txt file was empty. 

 

Edit: also, to be clear I need to be able to export during runtime (after the load from database step) else all my fileglobals will be in their default state.

 

Thanks!
