You can export the configuration differences
for comparison at a later time or as a backup for your existing configuration.
To export the comparison
results into an XML file:
Procedure
Ensure that you have specified a directory
location where the comparison report is generated in the Reports Directory
field in the Settings tab of your Sterling Selling and

Deployment Tool Preferences. For more information about specifying
these preferences settings, see Setting CDT preference settings in GUI mode.
From the Comparison Results action
bar, choose the Save icon. From the Windows Explorer, browse to the location
specified in the Reports Directory field.
The Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation Configuration
Deployment Tool automatically creates a subdirectory in this directory.
For example, if you have specified D:/reports in
the Reports Directory field and exported the
comparison results at 3:40 pm on May 23, 2008, CDT creates the subdirectory
as: D:/reports/export20080523154024. This new subdirectory
contains the ydkexport.xml file, which contains the
comparison results.
After the import gets completed,
you can perform any of the following actions:
