MDB Admin Console CLI › MDB Admin Console › Export and Import Considerations

Export and Import Considerations

The following considerations apply when you use MDB Admin Console to export or import data:

• MDB Admin Console can export and import the following MDB objects:
  • Security Profiles and Area definitions
  • Asset Groups
  • Queries
  • Query-based and Event-based Asset Policies
  • Configuration Policies
  • Software Groups, Procedure Groups, and Software Policies
  • Software Definitions

  Note: For a detailed description of the supported MDB objects, see the "Supported MDB Object Types" appendix.

• You can perform export and import as two separate tasks. This approach lets you review the exported MDB data, which is stored in XML files, before you import the data into the target MDB.

  Note: Do not change the contents of the XML file if you are planning to use the XML file for importing data into the target MDB later.

• MDB Admin Console does not delete any object from the target MDB when you import data.
