Open Process File from EShare

This topic describes you to open and manage files stored in central Enterprise Sharing (EShare) Server. This option is available if you have enabled and correctly configured EShare server in Tools > Options > Eshare tab. In organizations users using files from this central location, management of files in EShare becomes important as users are able to open files from EShare. You can restrict Run Only users working on Read Only files to save anything back to EShare.

To open cloud samples,

  1. Start Process Runner DB
  2. Select File > Open > Open from Eshare. The Open from Eshare dialog appears.

  3. Select the Eshare file from the list.

Following are the EShare Toolbar options

  • Open: Opens the selected file.
  • Save As: Performs Save As action on selected file. The Save As option essentially makes copy of current file and makes you the owner of the file.
  • Refresh: Refreshes file list.
  • Rename: Renames currently selected file. Only file owner can perform this action.
  • Delete: Delete single or multiple files from Server. Only file owner can perform this task. If you have selected multiple files and you are not the owner for some of the files, Delete operation will skip those files and delete the remaining files where you are the owner.
  • Sharing: Adjust privilege level for selected file or files. Only owner can make changes to privilege levels. i.e. Only owner can change Private to Shared or from Read Only to Read / Write mode.
    • Private: Enabling this option will allow only the owner of this file to see and access the file.
    • Shared:
      • Read Only: Read only file can still be opened by other user and they can make all the changes to the file and run it. But they are prevented from saving this file back to server (however, they can perform Save As). Only owner can update and save this file on the server.
      • Read / Write: Read / Write file can be updated by anyone.
  • Select All: Select All the Files in the current Active Tab.
  • Deselect All: Deselect All the Files in the current Active Tab.
