YAML configuration migration#

Historically MXCuBE used XML files for configuring hardware objects. Now it’s possible to use YAML files instead of XML files. To help with migration to YAML files, MXCuBE-Web can export loaded hardware objects configurations as YAML files.

Use --export-yaml-config argument when starting MXCuBE-web to enable YAML export. For example, if you use:

    $ mxcubeweb-server --export-yaml-config <my-yaml-dir>

mxcubeweb-server will load your hardware object configuration as normal. Then it will write the loaded configuration into the <my-yaml-dir>.
