Exporting and importing sequence numbers

Sequence numbers can be an important part of a vault’s configuration but the numbers are not exported with the configuration as described in Exporting configuration data. To transfer or migrate sequence numbers to a different server or vault, you must do so manually by exporting the numbers from the source vault and importing them into the destination vault. The BlueCielo Sequence Number Manager transfers sequence numbers using XML files.

To export sequence numbers:

1. In BlueCielo Sequence Number Manager, view the sequences for the folder in the source vault that you want to export as described in Viewing sequence numbers. To export sequence numbers for the entire vault, view the vault’s root folder.
2. To export sequence numbers for just the current folder, click Export. To export sequence numbers for the entire vault, click Export All. The Save File dialog box appears.
3. Select a convenient location for the file and click Save. A confirmation dialog box appears and shows the path to the saved file.
4. Click OK. The confirmation dialog closes.

To import sequence numbers:

1. In BlueCielo Sequence Number Manager, view the sequences for the folder in the destination vault where you want to import the numbers as described in Viewing sequence numbers. To import sequence numbers for the entire vault, view the vault’s root folder. Ensure that the sequence numbers that you intend to import do not already exist or verify that they can be overwritten.
2. To import sequence numbers for just the current folder, click Import. To import sequence numbers for the entire vault, click Import All. The Open File dialog box appears.
3. Select the XML file that contains the sequence numbers that you want to import and click Open. The sequence numbers are imported and a confirmation dialog box appears that shows the path to the file that was imported.
4. Click OK. The confirmation dialog closes. The sequence number list updates to show the imported sequence numbers.
