Aqua Data Studio stores all application settings and
configurations in the \.datastudio directory. Where USER_HOME is
the home directory of the current user logged into the Operating
System.
Windows = C:\Documents and Settings\USER_HOME\.datastudio
Linux = /home/USER_HOME/.datastudio
OSX = /Users/USER_HOME/.datastudio
The user may easily backup user settings by copying the full
contents of this directory to an external storage device.
All of the Application's settings within File -> Options are
contained within the datastudio.properties file. Copying this file
to another machine duplicates all of the current options.
Information on Memory Configuration and how to set the amount of
RAM Aqua Data Studio uses is discussed on the Launcher & Memory
Configuration page.
All database server connection configurations
are stored in the \.datastudio\connections directory and
sub-directories, with a connection file for each server in the
appropriate directory. Users may exchange and share server
connections by transfering individual files for each server.
To Copy Server Registrations
from one machine to another machine :
- Locate the .datastudio connections folder
Windows: ’Documents and
Settings\username\.datastudio’
OS X: /Users/username/.datastudio (only visible through
terminal command "ls -a" as OS X does not show hidden directories
through the Finder)
linux: /username/home/.datastudio
- Within the ’connections’ folder are any
server registrations you have created. If you've made folders to
group connections within the schema browser, they show up as
directories. Individual server connections appear as files with the
file name corresponding to the server name entered in the Server
Properties settings during registration. Connections have the file
extension .conn
- Copy the 'connections' folder's contents and transfer it to the
corresponding .datastudio/connections directory of the
2nd machine.
Open Aqua Data Studio in the 2nd machine
and all the Server Registrations will be available.
Note: Passwords are not copied, as they are
encrypted during creation. They must be reentered once the
connections are moved to the second computer.
