The configutil.properties file contains an environment section that has OVERRIDE_PATHS and OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME entries. By default, these are set to false.

While exporting a setting, the utility tries to ascertain if the value is a valid path on the source machine or a value containing the hostname that matches that of the source machine. If you set OVERRIDE_PATHS to false, then any value that contains valid path on the source machine is not overwritten during import. Similarly, if you set OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME to false, then any value that contains hostname matching that of source machine is not overwritten during import. (Note that all values containing hostname do not qualify for OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME).

This behavior exists because path and host name of the source machine may not have any meaning on target machine. If you set these values to true, then the utility overwrites all the setting values during import irrespective of whether it is a path or a hostname.

Note: Progress recommends that you store your path settings relative to $DLC or $WRKDIR to avoid merge conflicts during import resulting in path settings not being imported.

If you do not want to export any specific files, then you can comment the entries for them in the configutil.properties file.
