Exporting and importing blackout and monitoring policies
Use the command-driven policy migration utility to export and import the infrastructure monitoring and blackout 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 that are created using the monitoring solutions from the extended repository, 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.
Location of the policy migration utility command
- Windows: <installed_location_Presentation_Server>\bin\cmapolicymigration.bat
