Exporting a configuration profile using the Configuration Assistant

Use the Configuration Assistant's Configure menu to export a profile.

• If you are exporting an entire profile, from the Configure menu, select Export Profile > All. A window opens where you can specify a file name for the profile.

  This typically includes all the information needed to configure a system in order to access specific databases and set common values on client systems. This option allows you to reproduce the configuration of this DB2® instance on other machines. This export option is useful when installing and distributing the configuration information for multiple identical clients.

• If you are only exporting database connection information, from the Configure menu, select Export Profile > Database Connections. A window opens where you can specify a file name for the profile.

  This includes only the information needed to access specific databases. This option is useful when new databases are added or database information changes. One profile can be updated with the changes and then distributed to other clients.

• If you want to customize a profile, from the Configure menu, select Export Profile > Customize. The Customize Export Profile notebook opens.

  This allows you to include whatever parts of a configuration profile that you wish. You can also modify values before creating the actual export profile.
