Issue/Introduction

I used the ConfigXpress tool to export some Admin Tasks from our development environment with the intention of moving to our staging environment. I noticed that the XML that gets generated only has the new Tasks, and not the existing ones that are already present in both environments.

If I upload the XML file using the Import function in the Management Console, will it add the new Tasks specified in the file, and not erase any existing ones?

Resolution

Importing roles and tasks via the Management console only adds new, or updates changes, specified in the XML, it does not delete or erase any existing objects.
