When you export the system configuration, a vmo_config_dateReference.vmoconfig file is created locally on the machine on which the Orchestrator server is installed. It contains all the Orchestrator configuration data.

Note

Some of the configuration files that are created during the export are empty. For example, the server configuration data is not exported because the startup options for the Orchestrator server are unique for each machine where the Orchestrator server is installed. These empty files must be reconfigured, even when a working configuration was previously imported.
