9.3 Working with Configuration
You can use the WebMarshal Console to commit and revert configuration changes. You can also use the console to export (back up) and import (restore) configuration files.
9.3.1 Committing and Reverting Configuration
You can commit WebMarshal configuration changes. You can also revert uncommitted changes in the Console.
To commit changes, on the Action menu, select Commit Configuration. Changes are saved and queued for sending to the processing servers.
To revert to the previous committed configuration, on the Action menu, select Revert Configuration. The copy of configuration in the Console is returned to the last committed state.

Note: You can only revert once. Selecting Revert Configuration more than once has no effect. •You cannot use Revert Configuration to undo committed changes. |
9.3.2 Importing and Exporting Configuration
You can export WebMarshal configuration to a text (XML) file. Export files are useful for backup and can also be used to copy configuration between servers.
To back up configuration:
1.On the File menu, select Export Configuration.
2.When the backup file has been created, select a location and click Save to save the file.
|
Note: Backup can take several minutes, especially if a large number of users have been imported. WebMarshal saves information about each imported user that is used in a WebMarshal User group. •To back up configuration regularly, you can use the automated configuration backup settings. See “Configuring Configuration Backup”. |
To restore configuration:
1.On the File menu, select Import Configuration.
2.Select the file to restore, and then click Open.
When the restore process is complete, you are notified. Click OK on the notification window to continue.
9.3.2.1 Backing Up Configuration From The Command Line
WebMarshal also includes a command line backup tool that you can use to create a backup of the WebMarshal configuration. The command line backup tool can be used in conjunction with the scheduled tasks feature of Windows, so a backup of the WebMarshal configuration can be created at a predetermined interval.
The tool is named ConfigBackup.exe and it is found in the WebMarshal installation folder.
To run the tool from the command line, use the following format.
ConfigBackup.exe <file name> [/server <server>[:<port>]]
[/user /password]
Parameters:
•<file name>: The output file (required).
•/server: The name (and optional port number) of the server running the WebMarshal Array Manager. Defaults to the current machine using the standard port.
•/user: The user name to use when connecting to the server. Defaults to using the currently logged on user if not specified.
•/password: The password for the user.
|
Note: You can run this tool from any computer. The tool requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2, and the following files from the WebMarshal installation folder: •ConfigBackup.exe •Marshal.Remoting.dll •WMRemoting.dll |
