Export/import preferences configurations?

greetings,
back in the olden days, before OSX, i used to save my systems configurations. for example, os9 and before, i could save my locations, printers, etc... i have both a desktop and a macbook pro, and at home a powerbook and a new MBPro and sometimes need to copy configurations between the computers. or on rare occasions, i've done a complete new install to avoid bugs between major os upgrades...
i've been looking for the ability to export some of my systems settings in OSX, but haven't seen a good way to do this... so i sometimes have to manually copy the configuration info from one computer to another. this would include network settings, printers, even things in apple mail prefs (yes i'll try another forum for that one)... but this is obviously a royal pain...
i did find an export option for network. but none for printers. the network pref export is grayed out. the system help states how to export, but doesn't give any clues about why the export option would be grayed out...
does anyone have any suggestions about either
1- this network export issue or
2- if there is any ability to export other preferences?
thanks for any suggestions-
jeffery

oh... that leaves a bit to be desired... too bad they haven't fully implement the ability to save/export all the configurations... that would be a helpful capability... think of all the "IT" departments, that would use such an options besides individual users...
you have a "noWhere" config too, presumably for a low power mode to conserve battery life... i'd guess a lot of laptop owners have a similar config... it might be a help if apple created a default "noNetwork" config since macbooks are such a large part of their base...
seems like a good time for some feedback...
thanks for the info-
jeffery

  • Export/Import Server Configuration

    Hi,
    I have multiple physical servers to configure that will have
    the same MX 7 configuration settings. Is there a way to export and
    then import these settings so I don't have manually complete each
    one? For example, I'm looking to replicate datasources,
    collections, scheduled tasks, cfx tags, client vars etc. Please
    advise. Thanks!

    You can either use the ear/war export & import utilities
    of the CF
    administrator or you can manually copy/merge the appropriate
    neo_xxxx.xml files from one system to another.

  • Export and Import of Configuration Data

    Hi All,
    I have created a number of custom properties, structures, groups, renderers, layout sets etc and would like to move them from Dev to Test system.
    I have found the following in the help doco:
    "Export and Import of Configuration Data"
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e1/029c414c79b25fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    However I am unable to see its functionality in our portal systems (namely the Actions->Export and Actions->Import functions).
    Our version of Portal is: 6.0.9.6.0
    KM: 6.0.9.3.0 (NW04 SPS09 Patch3)
    Therefore we should be able to see it? no?
    Are there any special settings to see these buttons?
    Cheers,
    Vic

    Thanks for your replies.
    OK, so in otherwords, it is not available in SP09 and only in SP12+.
    So, to "transport" this information I will have to manually reapply thes settings in the Test system!

  • Exporting at HIGHEST quality - iTunes IMPORTING preferences?

    Does the iTUNES IMPORTING preferences matter? I am exporting UNcompressed so I can give songs to a Master Engineer. What should my itune settings be at?
    or should i share another way?
    Thank you!

    Yes - If you're delivering a mix to a mastering engineer, do not share to iTunes! Export to Disk instead.
    Generally, when you deliver something to a mastering engineer, you want it to be as unprocessed as possible. iTunes is a fantastic consumer-oriented playback application. But for sending audio in and out of iTunes on its way to a mastering engineer, it’s Hogwarts - full of mysterious nooks and crannies that could inadvertently transform your audio without you realizing it. Plus, it's completely unnecessary and avoidable.
    So to take steps to ensure the highest (and most unadulterated) quality possible, first turn off auto normalize in GB’s advanced preferences, if you haven't already done so.
    Then, if you've chosen any presets for your Master Track, remove them (adding these kind of finalizing effects is exactly what the mastering engineer does; the presets in Garageband are a quick and easy alternative, but you have the real thing).
    Finally, under the Share Menu, choose Export Song to Disk. And, of course, don't compress.

  • Is it possible to import and export Config Toll Configuration  from one sys

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to import and export Config Toll Configuration  from one system to Another system (QUS/PRD), for especific service.
    Kindly let me know the pro and corn of it and step by step process
    Thanks alot for your time.
    Thanks
    AB

    Yes...It is certainly possible but then you would need to bring OS level j2ee filestructure as well and there are lots of changes at OS level in *.properties file and then at configtool level changes related to hostname, system numbers and port numbers etc.
    This is not much difficult but not impossible also if you do it very carefully. Please note that SAP DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS METHOD.
    alternatively, you can use sapinst to export-import j2ee filesystem from source to target which inturn would require to do configtool export/import and then changes at configtool level.
    Do let us know your requirement so that we cud help you in case you are facing any issues.
    cheers !!!

  • Exporting to iTunes (importing preferences)

    I am exporting my songs with the intent of having them mastered professionally. does it matter what the iTUNE IMPORTING preferences are set on. i am looking at it now - which ENCODER should I use and which SETTING. The highest?

    The recordings are mostly 30 or 45 minutes. I copy them to Garageband in real time, and then click on Export to iTunes in the File menu. The "creating mixdown" is often very slow. The longer, 45 minute files might take more than an hour to get into iTunes.

  • UCM configuration export / import

    The only known difference between my 2 UCM servers is that one I want to import the config on is 2-node cluster and the first one (from which I exported the bundle) is single machine. But I think this should not be a problem, should it?

  • How to export/import configuration

    I've just got myself a shiny new SSD as a secondary internal drive and I've decided to start afresh and install everything (kinda) from scratch. I've made the SSD the new boot drive and I have the old internal HD there with everything on it still.
    I just can't work out how to copy all the (numerous) websites and settings across to Server on the new drive though?
    Surely there should be some sort of export/import system?
    Any help massively appreciated.

    I was searching up and down for this functionality myself. It's not available from the GUI (shame!)
    Use the command line:
    sudo serveradmin settings all > outfile.txt
    Instead of all you can also specify a specific service. Importing the settings into the new machine is done in a similar way. Look for examples in the man page for serveradmin.
    Hope this helps

  • Getting an error while importing Development Configuration file (NW 2.0)

    i,
        while importing a development configuration file for Webdynpro (  SAP NW 2.0 ), i am getting an error
       "Getting Input Stream Failed-> Unable to find the host ..."
    But i can ping to the server and tr is also working .
    i could see Active and Inactive Objects
    Any access permission is needed to download a configuration file.
    or whatis the reason for this error.
    any preconditions have to be done for importing a configuration file ?

    You can try the following:
    1. try the fully qualified domain name of the DTR server host in NWDS Preferences->Development Configuration.
    2. Are your WAS and JDI are on a higher SP level. That may cause the problem

  • Regarding Distribution Monitor for export/import

    Hi,
    We are planning to migrate the 1.2TB of database from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB7.7 . We are currently testing the database migration on test system for 1.2TB of data. First we tried with just simple export/import i.e. without distribution monitor we were able to export the database in 16hrs but import was running for more than 88hrs so we aborted the import process. And later we found that we can use distribution monitor and distribute the export/import load on multiple systems so that import will get complete within resonable time. We used 2 application server for export /import but export completed within 14hrs but here again import was running more than 80hrs so we aborted the import process. We also done table splitting for big tables but no luck. And 8 parallel process was running on each servers i.e. one CI and 2 App servers. We followed the document DistributionMonitorUserGuide from SAP. I observerd that  on central system CPU and Memory was utilizing above 94%. But on 2 application server which we added on that servers the  CPU and Memory utilization was very low i.e. 10%. Please find the system configuration as below,
    Central Instance - 8CPU (550Mhz) 32GB RAM
    App Server1 - 8CPU (550Mhz) 16GB RAM
    App Server2 - 8CPU (550Mhz) 16GB RAM
    And also when i used top unix command on APP servers i was able to see only one R3load process to be in run state and all other 7 R3load  process was in sleep state. But on central instance all 8 R3load process was in run state. I think as on APP servers all the 8 R3load process was not running add a time that could be the reason for very slow import.
    Please can someone let me know how to improve the import time. And also if someone has done the database migration from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB if they can tell how they had done the database migration will be helpful. And also if any specific document availble for database migration from Oracle to MaxDB will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Narendra

    > Please can someone let me know how to improve the import time.
    R3load connects directly to the database and loads the data. The quesiton is here: how is your database configured (in sense of caches and memory)?
    > And also if someone has done the database migration from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB if they can tell how they had done the database migration will be helpful. And also if any specific document availble for database migration from Oracle to MaxDB will be helpful.
    There are no such documents available since the process of migration to another database is called "heterogeneous system copy". This process requires a certified migration consultant ot be on-site to do/assist the migraiton. Those consultants are trained specially for certain databases and know tips and tricks how to improve the migration time.
    See
    http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
    --> FAQ
    For MaxDB there's a special service available, see

  • Backing up using Export/Import & ITL, XML file formats

    Using Windows XP I have reset my default Itunes folder to c:\Itunes (too big for MY Documents\...). then copied everything from c:\itunes to an external hard drive. (I didn't realize the ITL file doesn't move and therefore I may not have a good backup of it.
    Starting with a new computer, installed Itunes, then did a 'File, Add folder to library (with copy option)' from the external hard drive. This restored all my songs but I lost playlists, play count & my ratings.
    I then did an import from library.xml, this restored the playlists, but still no play count or ratings.
    My question is
    1) IS there a better way to backup from Hard Drive to Hard drive? (Maybe all I really needed was the ITL file also?)
    2) what is the format of the ITL file (I am a systems programmer, would appreciate a URL that has detail), what (hopefully free) utility would edit it?
    3) a high level view of the XML file (I know XML)
    4) Where is there complete documentation on Itunes ( a detailed description of export/import would be appreciated)

    Here's my old standard answer for this topic - hope you can find something useful from it ...
    iTunes Music Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml must stay where you found them.
    To move your music files, use iTunes to do the work. Don't manually drag them around yourself.
    • change the library location in iTunes Advanced Preferences tab, the new location does not need to exist; iTunes will create it. The new location should be empty of music files. This just sets the location for any new files brought into iTunes; it does not affect any existing files in the iTunes library.
    • Select iTunes Advanced menu, Consolidate Library command. This copies all iTunes music files to the new library location. Playlist & Ratings data is preserved!
    • After it completes (assuming no errors), quit iTunes and get rid of the original files from your previous location. The xml & itl files must remain in the old location, the library location setting does not control the location of these two critical files.

  • Export/Import classification categories/values in PI 7.11 Service Registry

    Hello,
    We are currently using SAP PI 7.11 EhP3.  I have created a number of custom classification entries in our PI Development environment's Service Registry, for use in classifying services within the Registry.  I need to apply the same categories and values into the Service Registry of our Quality and Production environments.  Is there any export/import capability enabling that capability in this version?
    Thanks,
    -- Chris

    Hello Gourav,
    Thank you for this information; it is very helpful.
    However - the export appears to only include the entries in the namespace http://uddi.sap.com/classification.  Since that is a protected namespace I am not able to create my custom classification values there.  (I'm also going to assume that this namespace gets overwritten during system upgrades, so I would not want my custom values in it anyway.)  Subsequently my custom values are in a separate namespace that does not seem to be included in the export process.
    Is there a way to configure this export utility so that it retrieves the data from my namespace, rather than (or in addition to) the standard SAP namespace?
    Thanks again,
    -- Chris
