Overview

This article describes changes made in V31.20 to improve the usability of GlobalSettings files.

1) Allow the GlobalSetting file to work with the XML file directly

Given a GlobalSetting.xml file whose content needs to be loaded into the CLIENT storage area. This can either be a VBI file produced by a previously compiled GlobalImports script or it can be that GlobalImports script itself. If it is the script itself, it is compiled here creating the VBI file "Just In Time". Though the GlobalImports script will have ended in Store.Close() operation the name of the VBI file that it created is still available from the Store service class. That name is retrieved and then is used to do the actual open of that VBI file. 

<Select GlobalSettings="\test\App\csh\Registry_SharedFile.xml" />

NOTE: to use this feature, you must either specify an no-folder in the GlobalSettings script:

<GlobalImports>
<Storage Action="Create" Identifier="GlobalSettings" />

2) If two <Registry commands for the same type and source exist, they are merged

A warning is displayed when merging content to encourage the user to merge them as an optimization

3) Upgrade the Analytics Audits to report the Registry entries in a vbi file.

Here is a sample of the added Registry audit.
