Migrating Favorites
I finally have a new laptop and have succeeded in getting RTC eclipse
client installed and working. However, the items I had saved under Favorites (queries, iteration plans, etc..) is empty. The RTC Favorites must be some bit of client meta-data saved somewhere instead of being saved on the server. Anyone have any idea if there is a way to migrate Favorites from one RTC install to another? |

After copying favorites.xml, stopping, starting RTC, I don't see my favorites. After looking at the filesystem in the dir where I copied them, it appears RTC copied or rewrote the previous favorites.xml. Yes, I am positive I copied in the right place. I did it twice and double checked everything. Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks, Carlton Dont modify files in these directories when RTC is running. Shutdown prior. Thanks, that was it, its working now. Thanks Again, Carlon |
