Resolution

This article addresses the following questions:

• How to import/export Polling & Threshold settings from one domain instance to another domain instance?
• Is it possible to import/export Polling & Threshold settings from one domain instance to another domain instance?
• What is the command to import/export Polling & Threshold settings from one domain instance to another domain instance?

With the existing suite of Smarts VoIP AM, there is no commnad/mechanism by which the Polling & Threshold settings can be imported/exported from one VoIP domain instance to another VoIP domain instance.

However, the following example/steps can be considered and followed as a work around to provide this functionality:

1. Reuse the existing VoIP AM repository by renaming the repository with another VoIP AM server name.
2. Start the server with --clean-topology option.
3. Import/create new topology as follows:
   1.  Save the current settings:

./dmctl -s <Existing VoIP-AM domain name> invoke ICF_PersistenceManager::ICF-PersistenceManager save

2. Copy the ExistingVoIP-AM.rps at <VOIP_Basedir>/smarts/local/repos/icf and place it as NewVoIP-AM.rps in the same path. You would now have two rps files, ExistingVOIP-AM.rps and NewVoIP-AM.rps.
3. Start the new domain using the following options:

--name=NewVoIP-AM
--clean-topology
--ignore-restore-errors

Additional Information

Please note that by doing this, it will import the settings from the old domain but not the topology.
