<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=333253416-03052006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>The functionality in the admin page is for making a package
FROM an existing repository. It's essentially an export. The path is just a
folder path within a repository. For example under the root of your library you
have a folder called MyData. In the path field in the admin page enter MyData
and that folder and contents will be exported to a package.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=333253416-03052006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>1) Use the Studio demo to upload the data via a load
procedure and convert it to SDF or just load it as SHP.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=333253416-03052006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>2) Use the Studio demo to start a load procedure, but from
the File menu Save as Package and copy the file to the server packages
folder to upload from the Admin page. This approach is used for large
files.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=333253416-03052006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>3) Use Studio API calls to generate your own package, but
this will only allow you to upload the SHPs as is because there is no API
currently for converting the SHP's (outside of Studio if I'm not mistaken) to
SDF 3.0. Some users may have already done this scripting and can provide
examples.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
