The Export Configurations by File feature enables the administrators to export the configurations from one server and import them to another. This avoids the need to add the same configuration in multiple servers, thus saving a lot of time and effort. For example, the administrators can export the configuration from a Staging server and import them to a Production environment.

You can export the configurations of the following modules:

Incident Management
Service Request Management
Change Management
Problem Management
Knowledge Management

To Export the Configurations by File:

Select Admin > Basic > Infrastructure > Export/Import > Export Configurations by File. The EXPORT CONFIGURATIONS BY FILE page is displayed.
Select the Module and Tenant details from the drop-down list. Click SEARCH.
