Optionally, you can export any configuration settings that
you changed on your base computer and deploy those settings on computers
across your enterprise.
About this task
After installing the product on your base computer, you can
configure settings and preferences, such as database connections.
When you are ready to deploy the installation of the product from
your base computer across your enterprise, you can additionally export
the configuration settings to a file and then copy the settings to
the computers that you are deploying to.
Procedure
- On the base computer, click File > Export.
- In the Export window, select Data
Studio Enterprise Deployment and then Configurations.
- In the Export Configurations for Enterprise Deployment window,
specify a directory for storing the configuration settings file.
- Copy the .zip file to the enterpriseDeployment folder on the shared
directory where you extracted the compressed product package.
Results
The configuration settings are stored in a .zip file and are ready to be part of your
enterprise deployment. When you run the installation script on a deployment computer, the
installation program copies the configuration settings too.
The configuration is loaded
automatically the first time the product is started. If you update the .zip file in the
enterpriseDeployment folder on the shared directory, and then reinstall, the
new configuration is loaded the next time the product is started.
If you do not want to load
the new configuration when you start the product, you can start the product from the command line
and use the
-skipLoad parameter. For example, you can run this
command:
C:\installation location\eclipse.exe -product com.ibm.datastudio.consolidated.product.ide –skipLoad
Where
installation location is the location where the product is
installed.
