Many reliability engineers perform a reliability analysis for various customers with the RAM Commander. In these projects, the same catalog number may be used for different items. Having just one component global library and cross-reference file can result in using the wrong data for the prediction. To avoid this and to allow the user to create alternative global library and cross-reference files for each customer, RAM Commander provides the user with access to all existing global library and cross-reference files.

 

Another reason to change global library files location is to place these files on a shared network folder to share it between multiple RAM Commander users. In client/server installation it is done by default - see and Settings Management also Standalone Installation + Common Network Database paragraphs for standalone installation.
