Export/Import Users, Connections, and Endpoints in Connect Server


In this article, we explore the Export / Import feature of CData Connect, allowing users to save, migrate, and distribute configurations of CData Connect Server, including users, connections, and endpoints. To follow along, you will need an instance of Connect Server with connection(s), user(s), and/or endpoint(s) configured.

CData Connect provides a variety of endpoints for accessing all of your data. In some situations, you may need to re-install an existing configuration on a new machine or distribute your installations across multiple machines. In those cases, you can export the settings of one instance to be imported into another instance.
