This function in the GainSeeker Utility module lets you export multiple GainSeeker items from the current configuration to a .zip file.
In the GainSeeker Utility module, change to the configuration
for which to export control files by clicking the File menu and choosing Login or Change
configuration.
Then click the File menu and
choose Export All Control Files.
(This function is only available to GainSeeker users
with permission to launch
the System Administration module.)
When prompted, enter the folder and filename for the .zip file
you want to create.
For the current configuration, GainSeeker will export multiple items
and then display a summary of the items that were exported.
The .zip file will include items such as those listed below:
Items: |
Details |
_cfg.txt |

This function is intended only for troubleshooting or for gathering system information. It does not take the place of system-level GainSeeker backups.
This is an export-only function. To import items from the resulting .zip file, see the table above. (Some items cannot be imported and must be re-created.)
To set up a new configuration with all of the exported items listed in the table above, best practice is to:
Create a new configuration with new tables and file paths, using information from the _cfg.txt file.
Create or edit traceability labels, using information from the _trace.txt file.
Use the SQL Utility to run SQL queries that insert or update non-default configuration settings, using information from the _cfg.txt file.
Import or re-create the exported items in the order listed in the table above.
