How can I export and import my cluster configuration for use with the Parallel Computing Toolbox?

I've used the Configurations Manager to configure a MATLAB client with the Parallel Computing Toolbox (PCT), and would now like to export this configuration to a .mat file so that I can import it into my other PCT clients.

Refer to the following section of the documentation for details about importing/exporting cluster profiles via the Cluster Profile Manager:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/parallel-computing/discover-clusters-and-use-cluster-profiles.html#brb8e5t-1

In older releases, the steps may refer to the "Configurations Manager" instead of the "Cluster Profile Manager":

Accordingly, you can refer to the respective, release-specific documentation pages, such as...

Also note that R2012a and later releases support exporting the cluster profiles to ".settings" files (instead of to ".mat" files) and support importing from ".settings" files as well as from ".mat" configuration files (e.g. as generated in R2007b-R2011b).
