Import Dashboards

An import utility is provided to import Dashboards (in the form of .jar files) into your CA Configuration Automation Server.

To import Dashboards

1. Click the Dashboards link.

   The Dashboards panel appears.

2. Select Import Dashboard from the Configure Dashboards drop-down list.

   The Import Dashboards dialog appears.

3. Click Browse and navigate to the .jar file you want to import.

   If the file was exported from a CA Configuration Automation Server, the file was assigned a default name using the following timestamp convention:

   Dashboard_Export_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.jar

   Where YYYY is the year, the first MM is the month, DD is the day, HH is the hour (using a 24-hour clock), the second MM is the minutes, and SS is the seconds. For example:

   Dashboard_Export_2010_01_06_13_59_57.jar

4. Click the Overwrite Existing Dashboards option if you want to update the existing version on your CA Configuration Automation Server, then click one of the following buttons:

   Import All

   Imports all Dashboards in the .jar file.

   Import On Selection

   Displays the Available Imports table which lists the Dashboards in the .jar file, and enables you to specify which of them you want to import.

   The import begins and may take a few moments depending on the size of the file. When the import is complete a confirmation message appears.
