Exporting Configurations

The configuration-export utility exports all of the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications configuration settings at one time.

Configurations are exported to a .zip file that contains database, FlexNet Platform Server, user interface, and FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications settings in separate XML files. The configuration-import utility uses this .zip file to restore all configuration settings when you import a configuration.

A user must be assigned a role with the View and Manage Configurations permission to export configuration settings to a file.

To export configuration settings:

1. From the Admin tab, under System Configuration, click Export to open the Export Configuration page.
2. Click Export.
3. Select to save the file to disk and click OK or Save.
4. Specify the location and file name for the .zip file. By default, the configuration settings are saved to a file called flexnet_configurations.zip.
