Exporting Profiles

  

DEVELOPER

The Profile Export utility provides a simple way for you to transfer PROIV operators and projects between machines, even if they reside on platforms with different hardware and software configurations. Refer JSON Export and Character Encodings other than UTF-8 for additional information.

When you run the Export utility the extracted data is written to file in the format of JSON(JavaScript Object Notation). You can use the exported files as a backup or import to a different machine. The Import utility (regardless of the method used to export) can be used to read the object definitions and data from an exported file.

You can create the following User Profile export files:

·         PROIV Operators, these files will have a .p4op extension and will contain all operator related data.

·         PROIV Projects, these files will have a .p4pr extension and contain all project related data.

To export file(s):

  1. Click the Tools tab, on the System Administration Tools, click Profile Export.
    The Profile Export screen appears.
