Backing Up Your Integration Manager Settings and Shortcuts

You should back up your Integration Manager settings after you make any changes to your application or shortcuts settings that you want to preserve or copy to another computer. Backups include the settings for the main application and all your export and import shortcuts. You can create a backup at any time after you launch the application. Integration Manager prompts you to backup your settings when you close the application.

Important:

The Integration Manager back up is stored on the OpenAir servers. Backing up your settings overwrites the previous backup. You can only restore settings from the most recent backup stored on OpenAir servers. Previous backups are not available.

To back up your Integration Manager settings and shortcuts:

  1. Connect Integration Manager to your OpenAir account. See Connecting Integration Manager with your OpenAir Account.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • In Integration Manager, go to File > Create Backup.

    • When you close the application through File > Exit, a window appears prompting you to backup your settings. To continue with the backup, click Yes.

    A window appears with information about the settings and shortcuts to include in the backup and the date they were last modified.

  3. Click OK.

    A confirmation window appears.

  4. To continue with the backup, enter Y in the text box and click Yes. Creating a backup overwrites the previous backup stored on OpenAir servers. After you create a new backup, you will not be able to recover settings from the previous backup.

Note:

With Integration Manager 6.5.2 and earlier versions, you could select the shortcuts you wanted to include in your backup. In some cases, this was required to stay within the 100 MB maximum backup size.

Integration Manager 6.5.3 and later versions optimize the backup for speed, size, and security faster backup, and remove the requirement to pick and choose shortcuts to stay within the maximum backup size.

To backup selected shortcuts only:

  1. You should take a local copy of C:\im_shortcuts before you start

  2. Delete all but the shortcut files you want to backup from the folders where you created or saved these shortcuts.

  3. Delete all but the shortcut bundle directories you want to backup from C:\im_shortcuts.

  4. Create backup.

  5. Restore all the deleted shortcut files and shortcut bundle directories from the Recycle bin.
