Exporting Setup for RoboHelp Server

RoboHelp Server Web Administrator lets you export the server-setup for a given context to another instance of RoboHelp Server 11 installation on a different machine. This is required:

• When you have created a staging setup on a machine and once it is certified, you want to move the setup to a production machine.

• When you want to create a duplicate RoboHelp Server setup which can be used as a backup in case the primary setup fails.

The setup is exported as a setup zip file. It consists of:

• Areas created in the context

• Project merging option for each area

• Context wide settings like search schedule settings, database cleanup settings, and moderation settings

• Authentication mechanism (database/LDAP)

• Information about users, groups and permissions

• Published projects

• Usage data captured

To export, follow the steps given below:

1. In RoboHelp Server Web Administrator, click Settings > Export Setup

2. In the Export Setup section, select what you want to export. You can choose to export projects, usage data.

3. Click Export.

4. Click Yes on the Setup Export confirmation dialog box.

   Export is initiated.
5. Click OK once the export is completed.
