Re: Change remote system properties with no loss of filters

[Steve Ferrell <Steve.Ferrell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

If all you wish to do is rename your system connections, you should be able to right click on the RSE Host name, select the properties, change the information on the Properties panel. 

The HOST name is the actual host DNS name you added and the Connection name is viewable in RSE. They can be different if you wish.

"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.
