The framework allows you to export an established connection to a provider system from a client system and then reuse it on another client system.
To export a connection from the file system, the connection has to be available.
You have to fulfill the procedure described in Creating Connections to Provider Systems .
Export a connection to a provider system
Choose an entry from the table of connected provider systems.
Choose Export .
Save the connection on the file system. The system saves the connection as an XML document.
At a later stage, you can distribute and import the XML document to another client system, instead of establishing a connection with the same settings.

The Import Provider System window opens.
Choose Browse , and then open the XML document of the connection.

After you import a connection from the file system, you have to edit the connection and enter the credentials that you use to access the provider system.
