Caution

Non-Encrypted Files:

Files exported with the same name as those that are normally provided with a Trading Blox installation will be overwritten when the Suite is imported in another installation.  This concern is for users who might have made modifications to some of the Blox or System module files and didn't change the name of file in some way that it is not longer the default name.

 

Special files that are not normally part of the Trading Blox process, like special index  or weighting files that are not contained with a Blox module will not be exported and then will not be available for export.

Encrypted Files:

To import an encrypted file it must first be placed in the Import Folder where Trading Blox is installed.

 

Never change the name of an encrypted ".tbz" file once it is created. Names use are linked to the system name and blox and changing the name will prevent the system from being able to allow the file to appear.

 

If the names used are found during importing they will conflict with other blox or systems already in the Trading Blox installation location.

 

When you have a successful import Trading Blox will make the system available for testing.  Encrypted files are accessible for viewing or for editing.
