Importing Configurations

The configuration-import utility uses the .zip file created by the configuration-export utility to restore all FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications configuration settings. (See Exporting Configurations for information.)

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

Important:Before importing configuration settings into FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications, export the working configuration settings (without writing over the .zip file you plan to import). If there is a problem with the imported settings, you have a backup of working settings to restore.

To import configuration settings:

1. From the Admin tab, under System Configuration, click Import to open the Import Configuration page.
2. Specify the .zip file that contains the configuration settings to import.
3. Click Import.
4. When the import is complete, restart the FlexNet Platform Server to make sure that all setting changes take effect.
