Backup or restore your configuration

QMF for WebSphere application and user settings are stored in files on the WebSphere server. You can backup these settings in an archive file, and subsequently restore them. One reason for backing up the settings is if you need to uninstall and reinstall or apply maintenance to QMF for WebSphere. In this case, your settings will be lost unless you backup and restore them.

Note:
Included in the application settings are any license files you may have received with your QMF for WebSphere distribution. If you do not backup these settings before you uninstall and install a fixpak, you will lose these license files and QMF for WebSphere will not function.

To backup your configuration:

  1. In the Actions window or on the Advanced menu, click Backup Configuration.
  2. QMF for WebSphere Administrator creates an archive file containing the user settings and sends the file to download to your web browser. Use your web browser to save the archive file on a local or network drive.

To restore your configuration:

  1. In the Actions window or on the Advanced menu, click Restore Configuration.
  2. The Restore window opens. In the Backup file field, type the name of the archive file from which you want to restore settings. You can use the Browse button to search for an archive file.
  3. Click Restore. The archive file is uploaded to the WebSphere server, and the settings it contains are restored.
