Exporting the Contents of the Configuration Database

To export the contents of the configuration database into a text file

1. Pull down the File menu and choose the Export... menu item. This displays the Export dialog box.
2. Enter a name for the export file. It is usual to give the file the .PORT extension.
3. Click OK to save export the file.

You can edit the file using an editor of your choice. See the following section, “Importing the Contents of the Configuration Database” for more information about editing this file.

Note: In order to use the same configuration file on all Console Manager systems, the SCSNODE name must match the TCP name for each system. To verify, ping the OpenVMS system by name.
