# Exporting a Data Source Name

After you configure a DSN, you can export it to be used on other machines. When you export a DSN, all of its configuration settings are saved in a `.sdc` file. You can then distribute the `.sdc` file to other users so that they can import your DSN configuration and use it on their machines.

To export a Data Source Name:

1. Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator where you created the DSN, select the DSN, click **Configure** , and then click **Logging Options**.
2. Click **Export Configuration** , specify a name and location for the exported DSN, and then click **Save**.

Your DSN is saved as a `.sdc` file in the location that you specified.
