Exporting server configuration to a WebSphere Application Server v6.x

The Server Configuration Export wizard applies the server configuration that is defined in the configuration archive file (.car) to the server profile associated to the selected server in the Servers view. The profile's original port numbers, host name and WebSphere® Application Server installation directory are preserved. However, all other server configuration settings on your current profile are merged with the server configuration that is defined in the selected configuration archive file, in a manner that maintains the differences. If you are familiar with the WebSphere administrative scripting (wsadmin) commands, this wizard performs the same functionality as the wsadmin method importWasprofile in the AdminTask object.
Prerequisite Restriction
To export server configuration to a WebSphere Application Server v6.x:
  1. In the Servers view, right-click the server you want to apply the server configuration that is defined in the configuration archive file.
  2. Select Export server configuration to server. The Server Configuration Export wizard opens.
  3. In the Parent folder, specify the directory where the configuration archive is located on your current workspace.
  4. In the File name field, specify the name of the selected server configuration file. The file extension should be .car.
  5. Click OK.
Results:

As previously mentioned, the server configuration on the server is merged with the server configuration that is defined in the configuration archive file, in a manner that maintains the differences.
