Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to configuring computer systems. Some embodiments include storing, on a computing device, at least a subset of an application configuration dataset of a target application, and storing, on the computing device, at least a subset of an application transaction dataset of the target application. Some embodiments also include providing a configuration application on the computing device to receive data and data modifications within the configuration dataset and the transaction dataset of the target application and uploading received data modifications of the configuration dataset and the transaction dataset to an application configuration environment of the target application. These and other embodiments provide the ability to copy an application configuration, or a configuration of an application to be deployed, on to a portable computing device and configure an application while not connected to the application or an application configuration environment.
