Problem with Exporting an Indicator

[ramckay]

I created an indicator based on the WilliamsR indicator included with NT. I used the following code to assign the value:

double value = WilliamsR(Period)[0];

The code compiles. The indicator displays as expected but when I try to export the code I get an "Error compiling export sources. Please check your logs." message. The log has this line:

The name 'WilliamsR' does not exist in the current context
10/10/2010 9:27:46 PM|2|4|See Help Guide section 'Export Problems' (9:35 PM 10/10/2010) for additional instructions.

Any ideas as to what that means and how do I resolve it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ramckay,

Was there more to this error? Perhaps indicating there was another indicator that "didn't exist in the current context"

You likely need to manually add the indicator when exporting.

Hi Tim,

That solved the problem. Needed to add the WilliamsR indicator and the export file was created as expected.

Thanks,

How do i export "UserDefinedMethods" along with my strategy code? I cannot get it to drop down from any of the selection boxes when i do Export..

TIA

Hi ssylwester,

The UserDefinedMethod script cannot be exported. Also, it should not be exported or tranferred, as doing so would could overwrite another users script and cause issues.

You can create a new script for any custom exporting you need to do.

Thanks for the reply. I have 2 setups, development and production. Both have mostly identical copies of scripts. WHen i try to update from Developement to Production, by exporting scripts, it fails b/c some of the functions are called from UserDefinedMethods. the only workaround is to backup/restore all the scripts, but this takes longer.
