You can export and import Central Monitoring Administration monitoring and blackout policies by using the command-driven Policy Migration Utility. This topic contains the following procedures and supporting information about importing and exporting policies:
Notes
The policy migration utility does not export Integration Service or cluster details of Agent configuration under the monitoring policy.
If the source computer has the base and extended repositories and the destination computer has only the base repository, policies created using the extended repository monitoring solutions fail to import on the destination computer.
The time-frame names are not case-sensitive.
For example, if the destination computer has a time frame Tf1 and if you try to import a time frame tf1, the import fails.
Example:
C:\Program Files\BMC Software\TrueSightPServer\truesightpserver\bin\cmapolicymigration.bat
Import | cmapolicymigration.bat import -f -d inputPoliciesDirectory |
