Often you may need to move maps from one location to another. For example, maps have to be moved 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 .sxml
file. Therefore, EDAB uses SPAK (for SVG Maps) and GPAK (for Online Maps) files to move or archive maps along with its components. To learn how to create a SPAK or a GPAK file, see Section 2.1.4.4 - Dashboard and Map Packages.

The SPAK and GPAK files can be viewed in the MenuPage, but they cannot be opened in the SVG or Online map designers. 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 Section 2.1.4.4 - Dashboard and Map Packages). |
