This option retrieves a running configuration from a remote server (that is, the existing configuration running in the NOTIF Editor on the remote server). When you select this option:
-
The Connect to a Server dialog box appears. Choose the remote server from which you want to retrieve the running configuration and click OK.
-
A progress bar at the bottom of the screen indicates that the running configuration from the remote server is being loaded into the NOTIF Editor on the local server, as shown in Loading a running configuration from a remote server. In this example, the running configuration being retrieved is a configuration file named running.ncf on a remote Adapter Platform server named OI81-Notif-ICB88-lin.

When the configuration data from the remote server is imported into the NOTIF Editor on the local server:

The NOTIF configuration objects in the topology tree are populated (that is, there are now EnumValueMapping, EventConfigInfo, NotifConfigInfo, and NotifPackage objects in the tree), and
-
The word “Ready” appears in the bottom-left corner of the NOTIF Editor, as shown in Running configuration from remote server loaded into NOTIF Editor.
