Export and Import Sessions

By default, Admin Center saves the cluster definition, process status, and test results, so the next time the same user runs Admin Center on the same machine, that saved information is available and displayed by default. You can export session data so that a different user or a different host can access it, by selecting the pull-down File > Export Session. Browse to the location where you want to store the session data and provide a name for the file. Admin Center applies the extension .mdcs to the file name.

You can import that saved session data into a subsequent session of Admin Center by selecting the pull-down File > Import Session. The imported data includes cluster definition and test results.

Note

When importing a session file, Admin Center automatically sets its update rate to never (i.e., disabled), so that you can statically examine a cluster setup from the time the session was saved for evaluation or diagnostic purposes.
