4.5.1 Saving and recovering definition files

The Job Design View and the Item Design View are used for the saving and recovery of files containing definitions of jobs and items. You can also save files with the cpajobprint command and recover them with the cpajobentry command.

The profile information and virtual user information, which are used in action flows or for logging on to Windows, can be saved and recovered by using the cpasetprof command and the cpasetumap command, respectively.

For details on the Job Design View and the Item Design View, see 6. Job Design View and 7. Item Design View, respectively. For details on commands, see 9. Commands.

The following table describes the functions used to save and recover definition files.
