In order to import configurations from the Login Form. First enter the login and password for "Import Configurations" user. Now select the "Advanced" / "Import configurations..." link.
This dialog can be used to manage several types of SYS table resources.
•Upload a user group - This option is only available for shared user groups. These are user groups who's names start with an underscore. (e.g. _CO@Base) Use this option to import a single user group. While it can be used to import a new user group, this is rare. In most cases it will be used to overwrite an existing user group. Click on the "Replace existing user group" checkbox. You will be presented with a list of the groups that you are permitted to modify. Be sure that the group you are importing is in that list.
Important: This operation will start by deleting the existing user group. It will then proceed to import the new user group. Be sure this is your intent.
Click the "Upload a user group" button and select the FullUserGroup.xml file that you intend to import. Select okay. The import will proceed.
The new shared user group will now be available.
•Upload a .config user - This option is used to replace a .config user into a specified user group. Start by selecting the user group you intend to import the new .config user into. The upload file must contain exactly one user group. This will be used to validate against the selected user group. It must contain exactly one user named ".config". Important: This process will start by removing all the content from the specified .config user and then importing the uploaded content. The two options titled "Skip connection objects and "Skip alias group objects" are generally recommended to be checked. This preserves the existing connection and alias objects rather than replacing them with content from the import file. This is because the import file may have come from a different instance of Crash Magic that is connected to a different database. (e.g. DEV vs TEST) Checking this option preserves the existing connection settings for the installed instance. Aliases should generally not be replaced, because they are not stored with your configuration and the installed version may be more current than the what is in the import file.
•Create an empty user group - This option is only used when creating a brand new configuration. Usually this is performed by PdMagic. Specify the name of a user group that does not exist in the system. Then click the link to "Create a new group with this name". A new group will be created with a single user. (your login and the password shown in the dialog)
•Add / update Pd Users - This option takes no additional information. It simply iterates all the existing user groups and adds accounts for PdMagic support personnel. This option is generally only used by PdMagic.
