Export and Import Utility

CA Automation Point Release 11.2 is not supported on the Windows 2008 Server operating system. The Export and Import Utility supports moving configuration settings from a CA Automation Point Release 11.2 server installation to a clean server installation of CA Automation Point Release 11.4 server. This utility also supports moving configuration settings from one CA Automation Point Release 11.4 server to another.

Migration of your current configuration settings is handled automatically during an upgrade installation.

You can move configuration settings from CA Automation Point on one machine to a clean install of CA Automation Point on another machine in one of the following ways:

To migrate configuration settings by upgrading.

  1. Upgrade the server to CA Automation Point Release 11.4.
  2. Export CA Automation Point configuration settings from the source machine.
  3. Copy the exported zip file to the destination machine.
  4. Run importSess on the destination machine and point to the exported zip file on the local destination machine.

To manually migrate configuration settings from Release 11.2 to a clean CA Automation Point Release 11.4 installation.

  1. On a CA Automation Point Release 11.2 or Release 11.3 server machine, choose the Manage Site Files option in the File menu of Configuration Manager to run the Export and Import utility.
  2. Export your site configuration settings to standby Sites. For more information, see the CA Automation Point Administrator Guide.
  3. Find the folder with exported Site configuration. This folder is in the %AXC_SITE_PATH%\Export.
  4. Copy the entire exported Site folder to a removable storage device, such as USB flash drive.
  5. When migrating stored Web MV user data, copy the following files under the StoredApMsgs folder in your CA Automation Point installation directory to your removable storage device:
  6. On a CA Automation Point Release 11.4 server machine, copy the exported Site configuration folder from the removable storage device to the %AP_DATA%\Export folder on the server.
  7. If you also saved Web MV user data, copy the userConfig.* files to the %AP_HOME%\StoredApMsgs folder on the server.

    Note: Web MV user files can have the .CDX, .DBF, or .FPT file extension.

  8. On the CA Automation Point Release 11.4 server machine, choose the Manage Site Files option in the File menu of Configuration Manager to run the Export and Import utility. The exported Site configuration from CA Automation Point Release 11.2 appears in the list of Standby Site Archives.
  9. In the list of Standby Site Archives, select the items that you want to import and click Import to Site.

Your configuration settings are imported to CA Automation Point.
