4.6. Migrating Maps

Often you may need to move maps from one location to another. For example, maps may move between the server and the develop machine. On the develop machine the tooltips/drill-downs/svg images locations can change and may not be located from the data stored in the map .gxml or .xsml file. Therefore, EDAB uses the SPAK (for SVG Maps) and GPAK (for Google Maps) files to move or archive maps along with its components. To learn how to create a SPAK or a GPAK file, see the Section 2.1.4.3 - Dashboard and Map Packages.

[Note]Note

The SPAK and GPAK files can be viewed in the MenuPage, but they cannot be open in the Map Builder. To edit a map from a SPAK or a GPAK file, you have to unpack it first (to learn how to unpack DPAK or SPAK files, see the Section 2.1.4.3 - Dashboard and Map Packages).
