Creating and Managing Configuration Files
Configuration files allow you to save upgrade configurations that you can use
immediately or in the future.
If you frequently perform upgrades to your system, you can create a configuration file
to preserve your settings so you can perform similar upgrades as often as necessary.
If applicable, you can create multiple configuration files, each with different system
settings, to prepare the system for a particular type of system or application software
upgrade.
In addition, you can call one or more existing configuration files from the configuration
file you are currently editing, so that the settings from the called files will also apply to
the file you are editing. This is called
nesting .
The default location for Active Upgrade configuration files is
\Program Files\ftsys\ActiveUpgrade\User Configurations, but you can save a
configuration file in any directory. If you specify a different directory when saving or
opening files, the Active Upgrade console uses the same user-specified directory (on
a per-user basis) the next time you open the file browser.
