Task 5.2.4 Using Team Profiles to share Workbench Configuration Settings

After Workbench for Eclipse has been installed, users may find a need to share their configuration settings with other members of the team or even across the organization. Certain configuration settings can be imported and exported using the traditional method (described in Task-5-2-5-Export-Import-Workbench-Configuration-Settings-Legacy-Method); or a more complete set of Topaz assets can be shared using the recommended Team Profiles method.

Important

Role involved: End-users

Topaz Team Profile provides an easy and recommended way to share Topaz assets among users to speed up the adoption of Workbench across an organization. Workbench Team Profile allows a user to export assets either to BMC AMI Common Enterprise Services (CES) or to a file and, subsequently, other users can import those same assets or a subset of those assets to their Topaz 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, Code Pipeline) and non-BMC specific projects.
  • Preferences, meaning any setting set via the Preferences dialog box.
  • Working sets of all types.
