Hi - Here are the file descriptions from
the users guide. What kind of errors are you getting? Just in
case you didn't know, you should *install* AB on the second computer before
copying your files over. I have AB on 2 computers, both use QP for data
and I can update that whenever I want, so when I want to sync up the 2nd
computer with my main working computer I usually copy everything except the
data folder, then I go into the data folder and copy the Watchlists, Layouts and
the 3 broker.xxx files at the bottom. That works fine and actually only takes a
minute or 2 to copy to a thumbdrive and about the same to load onto the 2nd
computer. I think the entire data folder would probably be the largest
thing to copy but it sounds like you want to copy all the data
too..

'_' symbol data subfolders and Layouts

- broker.master - binary data file containing the table of
all symbols available in the database. Used for quick loading of symbols. The
table of symbols includes information about assignments of symbols to

information is available also in the individual symbol data files.

will lost database settings and category names will be reset to defaults.

inside database folder contains default LOCAL layout for this database. The

If you delete this file then default layout will be generated based on
default.layout file that is supplied with AmiBroker.
- broker.charts - binary file containing information about
all custom indicators (including settings and formulas). If you delete this
file you will loose all custom indicators.

information is stored per-database in broker.workspace file.

market n, sector n, industry n names, where
n is 1...256

Dear Friends,
I need some help and request the senior members /
knowledgeable
members to help me on the following :
Scenario: I
have two PC's which are used randomly. Sometimes, it so
happens
that the machine on which I've loaded the data for
amibroker
(earlier day backup / marked the support and resistance
levels) is
busy / occupied, resulting in me having to reload ALL
the data again
on the 2nd machine and then sitting and marking the
support /
resistance levels again for ALL the scrips - WHICH IS
PRETTY TIME
CONSUMING AND PAINFUL.
1) I need to understand the
files - FOR THE SCRIPS historical data -
which need to be copied
for carrying the preloaded data onto the 2nd
machine incase of
emergency, during mkt hours. Say for example, if
i've loaded the
earlier day's data for ^NSEI on the 1st machine and it
is
occupied/busy. Which file needs to be copied onto the 2nd
machine
for me to see the data directly (consider the scenario
wherein the 2nd
machine was not switched ON the earlier day and
does not have any
intraday data)
2) Alongwith the above data
(Intraday for ^NSEI), I need to copy the
support and resistance
lines which I've manually inserted on the
earlier day evening
(depending on the post market data).
Please note that, earlier,
when i tried copying only the data files
from the 1st machine to
the 2nd machine, I got errors on the 2nd
machine. Also, I had tried
copying all the files with the respective
subdirectories, but the
same error was shown.
warm
regards...rbhapkar
