Export and import configuration templates

Velox configuration templates use .CFG files to carry selected modules and recursively discovered dependencies. They can contain credentials, server names, paths, endpoints, scripts and business rules, so store and transfer them as controlled deployment artefacts.

Export​

  1. Confirm the source context and use Check Usage plus the module-specific design pages to understand dependencies.
  2. Use the module Export action. Normal export discovers related folders, Connections, Definitions, Maps, Reports, Transports, Scriptlets, Variable Groups and other objects according to the selected module type.
  3. Save to a protected location, then record source environment, release, scope and checksum.
  4. Inspect the manifest/content without editing the serialised structure manually.

Import​

  1. Back up the target configuration and use the test context first. Record the current module FIDs/names and runtime state.
  2. Open File > Import and select the trusted .CFG file.
  3. Review every proposed action: Add, Update, Add Duplicate, Ignore or Same. The importer can default existing folders, Transports and DB Connections to Ignore; that is a prompt to review environment ownership, not proof that the existing object is compatible.
  4. Compare material rows where available. Do not change the first/root module to Ignore.
  5. Save the selected actions, inspect every expected object and relation, refresh configuration and test affected callers.

Installed template folders can contain development, backup or scenario-specific files. Their presence does not make them universal supported templates. Never import a file whose origin, version or purpose is unknown.

The importer saves objects in dependency/type order but is not a database-and-runtime transaction. A completed dialog is not sufficient proof that every dependency is correct. If import is wrong, stop affected processing and restore the target backup or previous module set; do not attempt blind reverse imports.
