getSetupData

Use the getSetupData command to write the setup file for a system service to standard output.

You can redirect output to a file, modify the file, and then use that file as input to the putSetupData command to save the service setup data.

You can also get the setup data from one service and transfer it to another. This command does not verify that the target service has been initially configured.

See Backing up and Restoring Business Transaction Management, for a discussion of the use of this command in backing up the system.
