You can export a GN4 configuration item to a file. This can be useful if you want to see what's loaded in the database, and eventually to compare the database content with the last good backup of the configuration file.

Apply the export method, described in the following text, to the configuration files (xxx_TabItems, xxx_Config, ServerConfig etc), workflows etc.

To export configuration item from the database to a file

<cmd4path>\cmd4 config -name <itemname> -out <filepath> -srvurl http://<servername>/GN4/adminsrv.asmx -username <username> -password <password>

Notes

•Replace <cmd4path> with the path of your GN4 application folder.

•Replace <itemname> with the name of the item (without .xml extension).

•Replace <filepath> with the full path to the file to be imported or exported, including file extension.

•Replace <servername> with the real name of your GN4 server.

•Replace <username> with the name of a GN4 user who has administrative permissions.

•Replace <password> with the password of the <username> GN4 user.

•Replace <fullpath> with the drive letter and the path to the file, including extension.

For a full list of command options, see cmd4 config.
