Exporting Configurations from the Configuration Console
Use this procedure to export configurations from the Configuration Console as opposed to exporting configurations via the export utilities. This method enables you to export all configurations for either the application or the security configuration type or export one or more selected configurations from within the configuration type.
If you export individual configurations, be sure to use the --keepactor parameter when you in turn import these configurations. If you do not use --keepactor, the system will first delete all of the configurations belonging to the actor associated with the configuration (if you specified a specific actor when importing) and for the global actor (if you specified no actor at all or @global for the global actor). This means that if you import a configuration for a single actor (that is, a personalization), that personalization will be the only existing one for the actor after the import. If you import a configuration for the global actor (that is, a configuration created in the Configuration Console not the My Personalizations Console), then that configuration will be the only existing one for all users.
