Backup or restore your configuration
QMF for WebSphere application and user settings are stored
in files on the WebSphere server. You can backup these settings
in an archive file, and subsequently restore them. One reason for
backing up the settings is if you need to uninstall and reinstall
or apply maintenance to QMF for WebSphere. In this case, your settings
will be lost unless you backup and restore them.
Note:
Included in the application settings are any license
files you may have received with your QMF for WebSphere distribution.
If you do not backup these settings before you uninstall and install
a fixpak, you will lose these license files and QMF for WebSphere
will not function.
To backup your configuration:
- In the Actions window or on the Advanced menu,
click Backup Configuration.
- QMF for WebSphere Administrator creates an archive file containing
the user settings and sends the file to download to your web browser.
Use your web browser to save the archive file on a local or network
drive.
To restore your configuration:
- In the Actions window or on the Advanced menu,
click Restore Configuration.
- The Restore window opens. In the Backup file field,
type the name of the archive file from which you want to restore
settings. You can use the Browse button to
search for an archive file.
- Click Restore. The archive file is uploaded
to the WebSphere server, and the settings it contains are restored.
