Copying and pasting user preferences
You can copy user preference settings, such as window and dialog box sizes, table column and sort
order, as well as other customizations, and all the user-defined views (including fabrics and hosts)
from the selected user account to one or more other user accounts.
If the fabric and hosts from the original user account are not included in the other user's AOR, then
the copied fabrics and hosts do not display in the other user's views. To include fabrics and hosts
from the original user account, you must add them to the other user's account (refer to
“Exporting a
user account” on page 236).
If a user-created view with the same name already exists in the other user's views, user-defined
views with the same name are ignored. For example, user_acct1 (copy) has the following
user-defined views: Fabric1, Fabric2, and Host1 and user_acct2 (paste) has the following
user-defined views: Fabric1, Fabric_CO, and Hosts. When you paste the user_acct1 user
preferences to user_acct2, user_acct2 now has the following user-defined views: Fabric1, Fabric2,
Fabric_CO, Host1, and Hosts.
