How to migrate Custom Queries from one SmartView Tracker to another

Problem

To do administration of IPS and other modules of the check point firewall, you often need to check logs with smartlog queries.
These queries are saved then to favorites for later use.

Migration

To migrate these queries to a new user account on the same management server or to another smartview tracker you need to know where this data is stored.

The favorites queries data is stored here:

$SMARTLOGDIR/data/users_settings/<username>/Bookmarks_Custom.xml

The file Bookmarks_Custom.xml can just be copied to the location of the new user.
After a restart of the smartconsole the favorite queries are visible again.
