Title
Export/import connection omits connection information that are in nested Group folders -
Description
I'm exporting my connections list from Toad for SQL Server which contains Group folders and nested Group folders to a XML file. When I import the connection XML file created, all connections within the nested Group folders are missing.
The export indicates it will export all connections within the Group and nested Group, but the import omits the nested Group folder and the connections within them.
-
Cause
The Export Connection feature exports a malformed xml. The GROUP and GROUPS xml tag do not match up.
For example:
<GROUPS>
<GROUP>
<GROUPS>
<GROUP>
,If you make the correction manually, the Import Connection feature still cannot process the correct XML properly.

3. Locate the Connections.xml file and copy it.
