To export and import only the escalation policy in Smarts SAM, do the following:

1. Use the following command to create an XML file called whatever name you choose in local/conf/ics:
   
   To export escalation policy:
   
   <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c AutoActionPolicy  <filename>
   
   To export client/server tools:
   
   <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c Action  <filename>
   
   To export NotificationList:
   
   <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c NotificationList  <filename>
   
   To export User:
   
   <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c User  <filename>
   
   To export UserProfile:
   
   <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c UserProfile  <filename>
   
    
2. Use the following command to import the edited file back into the new Smarts SAM configuration (<SAM2>):
   
   <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM2> import --force <filename>
   
    
3. If the two Smarts SAM configurations (<SAM1> and <SAM2>) are running in different directories, you will need to move the XML file from local/ics/conf in the directory in which it was created to local/ics/conf in the new Smarts SAM configuration directory.
