Procedure

  1. Log in to vRealize Operations instance from which you want to export the content.

  9. For content types with sensitive information, enter the password that you had set while exporting the content.
  10. Click Import.
    After the import is completed, the content is available in vRealize Operations Cloud. The import report with the timestamp is displayed after the import operation is complete. You can view this information under the Results section in the Import page.
