Description

The BusinessConnect .csx file contains an export of the BusinessConnect configuration, including trading host and partner configurations, operations, and system settings.  Normally, this file is encrypted.  Some users have expressed an interest in seeing the unencrypted contents of this file.  The following instructions are for users who want to export BC configurations in human-readable format.

Resolution

Resolution:

1.  As a best practice, we recommend that you do this with bcappmanage rather than use the Administrator, although it can be done in either utility.  If you use this property on the Administrator, you will not be able to import the .csx file you export, because it will not be recognizable by BC for import purposes.

2. Add below boolean property in administrator.tra file or bcappmanage.tra depending on how you want to export the BC configurations. This property needs to be set with value true.

java.property.bc.ix.fdnsout.on=true

This property allows the BC configurations to be exported unencrypted.

2. Restart the Administrator or bcappmanage.

3. Export the BC configurations.

4. The entire csx is exported as a zip file (the extension will be .csx). Open this file with winzip (it is not a single file). You will get a human-readable BC export(in XML format).

Note: 

1. You will NOT be able to re-import this .csx file into another BusinessConnect installation.

2. This will only allow you to read the content of the BC configurations

3. The internals of the file are TIBCO-proprietary, and Support will not be able to answer questions regarding the content of these files.
