Importing and exporting the configuration file

Use the Manual Configuration page to download a copy of the configuration settings in XML format. The settings in this file control all server preferences. You can then edit the file and upload it back to the server. You can also use the file to configure another LiveCycle product instance.

To avoid security risks, the bind password value for the directory server is not included in an exported configuration file. Update the password in the XML file before you import the file to a new system.

Important: Importing the configuration file reconfigures LiveCycle based on the information in the file. Only a system administrator or a professional services consultant who is familiar with the LiveCycle product and XML should consider modifying the configuration file. They may need to edit the configuration file, for example, to reconfigure a corrupted setting.
