Export / Import Database Settings Tool

Previous  Top  Next

MonitorWare Console settings are saved in the database to which it is connected, instead of saving it to the registry files. With this tool you have the flexibility to import or export the database settings to which MonitorWare Console is connected. This is specifically helpful during support routine as this enables us to create the exact scenario in our test lab.

To access this tool, go to File -> Export/Import. Once this has been done, the following dialog box will appear:
