Export the system configuration

The -system parameter in the runppmconfig command line program enables almost the entire configuration (except report automation) of a client to be extracted and saved to XML files. This creates the file InitSystem_settings.properties, which contains the names of the configuration files with path information. To initialize a PPM database, copy the file InitSystem_settings.properties to the configuration directory for the relevant client and then execute the runinitdb command.

Example

Execution of the command line

runppmconfig -user system -password manager -mode export -system <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\config\default\xml

extracts the configuration of the default client and saves it under <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\config\default\xml in these XML files:

default_abcanalysis.xml

default_attributenames_de.xml

default_attributenames_en.xml

default_attributenames_fr.xml

default_attributetypes.xml

default_copyattributerules.xml
