Profiles/Library Manager

In Xfmea, a profile is a collection of predefined settings for a particular type of analysis. For example, your organization may need one profile for Design FMEAs and a second profile for Process FMEAs. A library, on the other hand, is a collection of profiles and other settings that can be applied to any project. The library file that is in effect at any given time on your computer is called the active library.

Note that:

If you have the necessary permissions, you can view and edit all of the profiles in a library via the Profiles/Library Manager. To access this utility, first open a database, then choose File > Manage Repository > Profiles and Templates > Profiles/Library Manager.

 

If you are connected to a standard database, the address bar at the top of the Profiles/Library Manager window shows the location and name of the active library for your computer. You can click the Browse button to select a different library file to use.

Viewing or Editing Settings

The navigation panel on the left lists the different types of settings that can be predefined and stored in the library. The table on the right displays the predefined settings for the type that is currently selected. To view or edit the settings, simply double-click the row in the table or select the row and click Add, Edit or Delete.

Importing Settings from Another Database

If you want to import settings from another database, first select the type of setting then click the Import button. If you import a profile, the application will also import copies of all related settings (i.e., the interface style, severity scale, etc.).  (See Importing Settings to a Library.)

In addition, the Copy Existing button appears in many windows throughout the Profiles/Library Manager. This feature allows you to copy selected settings from another library to replace the ones in the current window. (See Copy Existing.)

Resetting a Standard Library

If you are working in a standard database (*.rsr9), the Reset Library button will be displayed at the bottom of the window. This button resets the active library to the default library that is shipped with the software (i.e., Library.lb8 for the English interface). This will not replace whatever library currently exists; rather, it will create a new standard library file in the C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\ReliaSoft\Common folder. If a file with the name Library.lb8 already exists in this location, the new filename will have an increment at the end (e.g., Library_1.lb8).
