You can use the configutil utility to export the configuration of a source installation and import it to a different OpenEdge installation on the same or different machine.

When you install OpenEdge, the configuration information is stored in separate configuration files. This utility helps you to capture all installation configuration information and uses it to automatically configure another OpenEdge installation on the same or a different machine.

This command-line utility is available as configutil.bat file for Windows and as a shell script for UNIX in the install-dir/bin location. You can run the utility from the proenv shell.
