I'm trying to duplicate some coupons I've created in one instance of BA into another, but while I see lots of other files types in;
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Bet Angel\Bet Angel Professional SE
or
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Bet Angel\Bet Angel Professional
on the other machine
...I see no .bcf files in either.
I've read the user guide, searched the forum and internet in general, created a few of my own on both instances and imported some example ones from here but still no .bcf files.
As I understand it they are stored in, and loaded from the directories above, and I can't find any 'Export' button to write them out explicitly, and as far as I can tell they should be there anyway.
Can anyone point me at what I'm doing wrong, thanks.
Can't find coupon .bcf files

Ah thanks yes, I have that file, but it's a .cfg file, not .bcf
I've been looking in Peter Webb's article at...
https://www.betfairtradingblog.com/bet- ... -settings/
..and it suggests the files should be called .bcf so I was expecting to find several files called [CouponName].bcf in there.
I just changed a coupon's name and yep, the file was updated, OK, all good thanks.
I want to store the master definitions of coupons in a database and have them automatically written to filestore on each machine running BetAngel and so ensure that coupon XYZ on one machine is exactly the same as coupon XYZ on the others. So I'll just synchronise at the watchlistProfiles.cfg file level rather than with individual coupons.
The only reason .bcf files are not separate like other file types is because coupons are run/displayed through the watchlist, so they get written to the original single watchlist.cfg (config) filesilentdiver wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 11:31 amAh thanks yes, I have that file, but it's a .cfg file, not .bcf
