Importing the Contents of the Configuration Database

The import routine only adds new records to an existing database. We recommend that you delete or rename the default database file using the appropriate rename command for your operating system before importing an edited text file. This ensures all changed records are updated.

To import a configuration database text file, enter:

CM Edit> import
Import filename (console_cfg.PORT): cfg_new.PORT

This reads the file cfg_new and adds its contents to your current database.

Do not use the copy command as this leaves the old database in place. Any import of records which already exist in the database will fail.

When you have modified the default configuration database, reconfigure Console Manager to activate the changes you have made. Instructions can be found in the section, Activating Your Configuration Database Changes.
