Service Management › Import Services

Import Services

You can import a service definition as a CSV file exported from another instance of CA Configuration Automation.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Management link, Services tab.
2. Click Table Actions, and select Import Services.
3. Click Browse in the Import Services dialog to select the CSV file that contains the service definition, and click OK.
4. Select the Overwrite Existing Services check box to overwrite the service with the same name.

   Select this option if you want to retain the changes that you made to the service on another instance of CA Configuration Automation.

   Note: The service is not updated if any current activity (for example, discovery or refresh) is running on the service.

   The file is imported and the services appear in the Services page. Default management profile is set to Imported Service if the corresponding Management Profile does not exist in the CA Configuration Automation database.
