Exporting configurations

Exporting the repository objects to XML enables you to view the current configurations of your
Global Manager
. Exporting configuration-related objects from one
Global Manager
in XML and then importing them to a second
Global Manager
allows you to duplicate configurations between
Global Manager
s.
Before exporting, you need to know the name of the appropriate
and the location (host and port) of the broker. Exporting produces an XML representation of the current configurations for your notification lists, users, user profiles, tools, escalation policies, and map icons. By default, the XML file is created in the
BASEDIR
/smarts/local/conf/ics directory.
To export the repository object configurations, use the following command syntax:
t
sm_config -s
<
Global_Manager_Name
>
--broker=
<
host:port
>
export
<
file_name
>
.xml
s
For example, to create an XML file called
Current_Configuration.xml
containing the repository objects in the INCHARGE-SA
Global Manager
on the host and port MyHost:426, the following command is used:
t
sm_config -s INCHARGE-SA
--broker=MyHost:426 export Current_Configuration.xml
s
“Importing XML files to the Global Managerâ€� on page 197 provides detailed information on importing the XML file.
