Import and export configuration and customization files

You can configure and customize files in the configuration and the customization directories. The configuration files contains information such as the application that must be configured for testing. However, the customization files contain information about the external jar files used in your project, customization of any recognition properties, and third-party proxy extensions. You can export these files and later deploy them using the export and import utility. The default location for the configuration and customization file is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\RFT. For example: If you want to use the same configuration and customization files on different computers, you can archive these files and later deploy them using this utility.

• Exporting the configuration and customization files
  You can export the current configuration and customization file into a jar file. This jar file can be imported or deployed to any computer.

• Import the configuration and customization files
  The import wizard imports the configuration (.rftcfgjar), and customization (.rftcust) files to the IBM IBM Rational Functional Tester configuration, and customization directory. The import wizard displays the available items and the user can import these items into Rational Functional Tester or any computer. The configurations file (.rftcfgjar) is either merged with an existing configuration file or is replaced. The customization files are only replaced and not merged. You must restart IBM Rational Functional Tester to activate some customization files.
