Transferring Data From POSM To GraniteXP

To transfer data from POSM to GraniteXP all POSM sessions must be performed in a NASSCO PACP, LACP or MACP template. POSM will automatically generate a StandardPacpExchange.mdb or StandardMacpExchange.mdb database when it detects a session is in these formats. To begin, open Session Management in POSM to export
the sessions.
Select the sessions to export by checking the sessions in the session list. You may also quickly select many files by: checking a session, then holding the left shift key, then check a session below or above the session you checked. POSM will then check all sessions between for you.

POSM Export of Data


Once the sessions have been checked, press the “Export To Folder” button. It is located below the green “Save to CD/DVD” button.

The POSM.mdb file is the database POSM uses to store and transfer data.
The StandardPacpExchange.mdb file is the file that will be used to transfer to GraniteXP. The data has now been exported. POSM may be closed and the data can be taken to the
