You might want to export connection profiles if you:
-
Plan to create a new workspace or upgrade to a newer version of DTP.
-
Want to reuse existing connection profiles.
-
Share a common set of connection profiles across a workgroup.
-
Want to deploy a set of connection profiles to a backend server environment, whose application can work directly with the exported file. You can copy the file to a server with no need to explicitly import the connection profiles.
Connection profiles are exported as text files, either plain or encrypted.
