Export one or more connection profiles to a text file.
You might want to export connection profiles if you:
- Plan to create a new workspace or upgrade to a newer version of DTP.
- Want to reuse existing connection profiles.
- Share a common set of connection profiles across a workgroup.
- Want to deploy a set of connection profiles to a backend server environment, whose application can work directly with the exported file. You can copy the file to a server with no need to explicitly import the connection profiles.
Connection profiles are exported as text files, either plain or encrypted.
-
In Data Source Explorer, click
Export.
- Select the connection profiles you want to export.
- Enter a fully qualified path to create a new file, or click Browse to overwrite an existing file.
- (Optional) Deselect Encrypt File Content if the connection profiles do not contain passwords or any other content that poses a security risk.
- Click OK.
