Workbench team profile

Workbench Team Profile provides an easy way to share Workbench assets among users to speed up the adoption of Workbench across an organization.

Workbench Team Profile allows a user to export assets either to Compuware Enterprise Services (CES) or to a file; subsequently, other users can import those same assets or a subset of those assets to their Workbench instance. These assets include the following:

• Configurations, such as launch configurations, Data Editor requests, search and compare requests
• Projects, including both BMC-specific projects (mainframe, Total Test, ISPW) and other projects
• Preferences, meaning any setting set via the Preferences dialog box
• Working sets of all types
