Exporting the configuration

You can export configuration data and settings. This provides a backup of automations, profiles, formats, transformations, filters, lookup tables, and provides other business units or users with the files and settings that are set up in Transfer Desk.

To export configuration information:

  1. From the main SunSystems menu, select TRD.
  2. Select Configuration Export from the Configuration menu.
  3. Select the items to include in the configuration export.
    The window displays a hierarchy of automations, profiles, formats, transformations, filters and lookup tables. Each item has a check box next to it and all are selected by default.
  4. Click OK to export the selected settings.
    The configuration settings are exported in an xml format and the file is automatically downloaded to your desktop.
The Configuration Export Results window displays how many items are successfully exported. The results are split into categories: formats, filters, consolidations, transformations, lookup tables, profiles, and automations.

The results are saved in a log file, RepositoryExportLog-<datetimestamp> file which is saved to the Configuration directory in the SunSystems Cloud storage.
