Automatically loading settings from a running IP Manager into the Configuration Manager

Manually transferring settings from a running IP Manager into the Configuration Manager can be time-consuming. You can use an automated alternative, the sm_settings.pl script, to export the settings from the IP Manager and import them into the Configuration Manager.

Procedure

1. To export the settings from a running IP domain manager, run the script from <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin:

   ./sm_perl sm_settings.pl --server=<server_name> --export=<filename>

   For example: ./sm_perl sm_settings.pl -s INCHARGE-AM --export=pt_goups
   The export output is written as a file to the <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/local/logs directory.
2. Optional, you can modify the script output to include new polling groups: Other modifications to sm_settings.pl output
3. To import the content into the Configuration Manager, run the script from <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin:

    ./sm_perl sm_settings.pl --server=<CM_server> --import=<filename>

   For example: ./sm_perl sm_settings.pl -s INCHARGE-CM --import=pt_goups
