If the default MySQLdatabase is being used as the Connect back-end database, we would
recommend the MySQLDump tool be used for this. See here for details on this utility
program:mysqldump
Preferences
The Preferences dialog is used to modify the general software preferences. Changes made in
this dialog affect the software globally, not individual templates and data mapping
configurations.
The Preferences dialog is separated into individual tabs, where each tab controls certain
aspects of the software.
To open the Preferences dialog, select Window > Preferences.
The General preferences also provides you with buttons to :
l
Reset all Warning Dialogs: This re-enables all warning dialogs that might have been
previously disabled by selecting the "Don't show again"checkbox within the dialog.
l Restore Defaults. This option restores the preferences to Defaults. This applies to the
current Preferences page only, but not other Preferences.
l
Apply: This option applies the settings made within the current Preferences page, but
does not close the Preferences dialog.

Clean-up Service preferences
The Clean-up Service defines how the Connect database and the temporary files created
during Connect production runs are cleaned up after the production run has finished.
As part of the job production process PrintShop Mail Connect uses a database for intermediate
storage and also creates various temporary "managed" files. These files include data
extractions, configuration files and any intermediate files created during the production process.
Connect keeps track of all these files through references held within the Connect database.
