Issue/Introduction

Customers wanting to export and import Polling and threshold settings from the IP domain to another IP domain.

Environment

Smarts - 10.1.x/24.3.x

Resolution

To import polling and threshold settings from one Smarts IP domain to another, do the following:

1. Export the settings that needs to be exported to other domain as 

   <IP_BASE>/smarts/bin/sm_adapter -s <Original IP Domain> <IP_BASE>/smarts/rules/utils/ic_dumpSettings.asl > <AnyPath/(filename.txt)>

2. Import the settings using file created in Step 1 into new Smarts IP domain as 

   <IP_BASE>/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <New IP Domain> invoke ICF_PolicyManager::ICF-PolicyManager loadSettings <Give file path from Step1>

3. Reconfigure domain for changes to take effect as

   <IP_BASE>/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <New IP Domain> invoke ICF_PolicyManager::ICF-PolicyManager reconfigure

4. Confirm that the configuration settings moved over successfully to the new Smarts IP domain and that the changes have taken affect. If you do not see the changes taking effect on devices, but you see the new groups created, then the domain reconfigure operation in the step 3 did not succeed. Open ticket to troubleshoot reconfigure issue.
