Importing and Exporting Command Control Configuration Data

You can import a complete command control configuration database, including test suites, using the Import Settings option, or you can import test suites only, using the Import Test Suites option under Test Suites.

If you import a complete command control configuration database, all existing data is overwritten, including test suites. If you import test suites only, they are added to the existing configuration and do not overwrite the existing test suites.

Exporting Command Control Settings

You can export the Command Control configuration settings to a text file for backup purposes, or for use in another Framework. You use the Import Settings option to restore the backed-up configuration settings, or to import the settings into another Framework.
