Copy the Configuration Files from the Production Environment

At this stage, DXmanager supports old server and knowledge settings but not access control and schema settings. Therefore, you need to copy custom access control and schema settings into the appropriate config directories once you set up the new CA Directory environment. You can use all other files as a reference when you use DXmanager to do the initial setup.

To copy the configuration files from the production environment

1. Create a folder on the directory management server to store the old configuration files.
2. Create a subfolder for each computer in the production environment.
3. Copy the entire DXHOME/config directory from each computer in the production environment into the corresponding folder.

   You should now have a single folder that contains one subfolder for each host, each of which contains the old configuration files from that host.
