Re: Change remote system properties with no loss of filters

"Once they are exported, you can use the File > Import."

How?

I exported, made the properties changes on the existing connection, then
imported. Everything is back as it was as if I had done nothing. Right
where I started.

Hi Jeff,

It's best to export your properties first.

Open the export configuration dialog. Click File > Export > Rational
Developer for i > Configuration Files.

Here's an older link, but it should help.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Change remote system properties with no loss of filters

All,

I connect to a single system via IP address. I decided I want to connect
to that system via a DNS entry instead.

I right-clicked that system, selected properties, and proceeded to change
it to the DNS entry. After reentering my password, I had lost all the
filters, etc I had set up. Thankfully I had made a copy of the workspace.

How can I make that change to the remote system without losing everything?
Or make a full copy (copy/paste did not do it)?

Thanks.
