To export the connectivity information, select from the menu Configure Export Profile. There are three options for your choice: All, Database Connections, and Customize. You can choose to export all of the entries or only some of them. For example, if we choose Database Connections, the output file generated by DB2 Configuration Assistant looks similar to the one shown in Example 2-1.
