MFImportConn command

Enables you to import connection settings previously exported from the ADO.NET Connection Editor.

Important: You must run this command from a 32-bit or a 64-bit Enterprise Developer command prompt. See To start an Enterprise Developer command prompt for instructions.

Syntax

{MFImportConn32_v2 | MFImportConn32_v4 | MFImportConn64_v2 | MFImportConn64_v4} path:\exportedXMLfile {System | User} {32BIT | 64BIT}

Important: Use the executable that fits the type of connection you're importing to. In the executable file names, 32 represents 32-bit, 64 represents 64-bit, v2 (deprecated) represents .NET Framework versions 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5, and v4 represents .NET Framework 4.0.

Support for .NET Framework versions 3.0 and 3.5, and for the CLR v2 has been deprecated[3]. The option 2 of the ILCLR directive has also been deprecated.
