Mirroring SmartSwitch rules

You can mirror rules from a SmartSwitch view to one or more subsystems. For example, you can mirror a set of rules that you verified on a test subsystem to all of your production subsystems. The mirroring process transfers all SmartSwitch rules to the target subsystems and replaces the rules that reside on the target subsystems.

To mirror SmartSwitch rules

  1. In the Product Tools perspective, select a SmartSwitch view.

  2. Click MIrror all rules NW_book_arrow.png.

    3. Select whether to continue if an error occurs for a selected Db2 subsystem:
      • Clearing the check box stops the deployment immediately.
      • Selecting the check box continues the deployment with the next Db2 subsystem.
    4. Click Next.
  4. Review the summary of the rule deployment.If BMC AMI Command Center detects a connection problem in a target Db2 subsystem the application displays an error message in the lower left-hand corner of the wizard, which identifies the Db2 subsystem that has a connection problem.
