I am trying to migrate previous setting files from my old PC.
I have installed Toad for Oracle 11.5.1.
When I use the feature, Utilities | Copy User Settings, I do not see my backed up User Files folder in the drop down menu.
When I click on the ellipses button to point to another location, I drill to the Toad for Oracle version folder, select it and click OK.
However, Toad for Oracle 11.5.1 does not migrate the User Files settings folder.
Nothing happens.
WORKAROUND:
1. Determine where the Toad for Oracle’s Application Data Directory is located:
Toad Options | General > Application Data Directory Folder field:
Ex: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\11.5\
2. Close Toad for Oracle.
3. Drill to above path with Win Explorer.
4. Find the file: SettingLocations.ini and Open with Notepad
5. One should see something like:
[TOAD 11.5]
AppData=C:\Users\dtorres\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\11.5\
Path=C:\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle 11.5\
Version=11.5.1.2
6. Make a copy of this entry and paste below with a space separating the multiple entries.
7. On the new copy, edit the information in the brackets. This is the tag selector.
8. On the new copy, edit the AppData field with the path were the backup version folder resides.
9. For example, say you had your backed up Toad for Oracle version folder backed up in your TEMP folder.
Ex: C:\Users\TEMP\Toad for Oracle\10\
The SettingLocations.ini should now look like:
[TOAD 11.5]
AppData=C:\Users\dtorres\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\11.5\
Path=C:\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle 11.5\
Version=11.5.1.2
[TOAD 11.0 TEMP]
AppData=C:\Users\TEMP\Toad for Oracle\10\
Path=C:\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle 11.5\
Version=11.0
10. Save the SettingLocations.ini file.
11. Re-launch Toad for Oracle and from the main menu: Utilities | Copy User Settings.
One should now see the TOAD 11.0 TEMP tag from our example.
