Configure the behaviour of Settings Migration Tool

Settings Migration Tool can be configured to exclude certain items from retrieval and deployment. We recommend that this is only undertaken by advanced users with an expert understanding of the managed system.

The configuration file is SettingsMigrationTool.xml and is typically located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Zany Ants\Xoom .

Items specified within <ExportExcludedItems> will be excluded from retrieval. Items specified within <ImportExcludedItems> will be excluded from deployment.

<Collection> specifies a Collection.
<IdStartsWith> is used to specify the Xoom identities of a subset of items.

After any changes, Settings Migration Tool should be restarted.
