Resolution

Use the following command to create an XML file.  The xml file will be created in the <basedir>/smarts/local/conf/ics directory.

1. To export only escalation policy:

<BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c AutoActionPolicy  <filename>

2. To export only client/server tools:

<BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c Action  <filename>

3. To export only NotificationList:

<BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c NotificationList  <filename>

4. To export only User:

<BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c User  <filename>

5. To export only UserProfile:

<BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c UserProfile  <filename>

6. To export only Domain list:

<BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export -c DomainConfig  <filename>

7. If you want to export all the configuration from the SAM domain, then you'll run the following command:

<BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM1> export <filename>

 

To import these extracted configuration you'll use the following command, where SAM2 is the domain name of the new SAM domain you want to export the configuration to: 

<BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_config -s <SAM2> import --force <filename>
