Import and Export
TIBCO BusinessConnect allows you to export configuration data from one TIBCO BusinessConnect application and import it into another application of the same or higher version. The configuration data includes these sets of data:
Saved queries are not exported. See TIBCO BusinessConnect Trading Partner Administration, Saving a Query.
You can set a password before you export data. This is optional.
You can export an installation configuration to use it with a future installation, or to use the same configuration on another server. You can also import an installation configuration that was previously saved (exported). The installation configuration is saved in the format Domain_name.csx.
To learn how certain installation components are merged in the .csx file, see Component Behavior During Import/Export.
For more information on migrating the installation configuration from the previous versions of TIBCO BusinessConnect, see Migration and Compatibility in TIBCO BusinessConnect Release Notes.
