# Duplicating MES Configuration

**Sepasoft MES Module Suite**

## Duplicating MES Configuration 

These scripts allow you to duplicate configuration data from one system to another with export and import functions. Keep in mind that the target system must be cleaned before importing configuration data. Importing overwrites all existing configuration data in the target system and does not merge data.

These are @NoHint functions. Gateway Scope. See [Script Example](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w7048WEb9JkJ1jprDG7iRzCmGpfxtM1bL_5dAjZDu14/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.w2sn9lfefogy) below.

### Constraints

* On the target system: no configuration can exist. Use **truncateConfiguration()** to remove configuration before importing.
* MES modules must be installed on the target system and match the source system.
