Hello there! My name is Derick St-Hilaire, and I’m the Salesforce Administrator here at Devolutions. I’m one of the more experienced employees here at Devolutions, and it has been amazing to see the company and community grow over the years. My primary responsibilities include managing our Salesforce platform, and working closely with our strategic partners and customers. I also oversee the management of Devolutions Force, which is our VIP Advocate Community. Academically, I have a bachelor’s degree in marketing. When I’m not working, I enjoy camping, walking my dog, playing video games, and I’m a huge movie fan — including the Star Wars franchise of course. If you would like to join Devolutions Force, or if you wish to get in touch, then you are welcome to contact me directly at dsthilaire@devolutions.net.

Hello Linux fans, today we’re continuing our tour of some of the best features in Remote Desktop Manager for Linux with a look at one of my personal favorites: exporting or importing data source configurations or entries. This feature will save you time and administration when deploying RDM for multiple users. It will also eliminate the possibility of input errors, which are always frustrating!

How to Import or Export Data Source Configurations

  1. Go to File.
  2. From the ribbon menu, select Data Sources.
  3. Choose your desired Data Source to Import or Export.
  4. Click the Import or Export icon.

This will generate an .rdd file that contains all the information to recreate the configuration. Please note that the .rdd file does not include the database content. Only the configuration is exported. To share some or all data source entries, you need to import/export an .rdm file.

How to Import or Export Entries

  1. Go to File.
  2. From the ribbon menu, select either Import or Export (note: you can also simply drop an .rdm file on the RDM window).
  3. Choose the entry that you want to import or export.

Note that if you are importing, you’ll see a list of your entries to edit before uploading to your database.
