Create a Service Discovery Policy Set File

The read_rules_from_db.bat file lets you create an .xml file that contains the current service policy set definitions from the database. You can use this file as a backup to restore at a later time.

Note: Do not edit the .xml file manually. Use the Service Discovery Policy Editor to change your policies.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a command prompt on the SA Manager system.
2. Navigate to SOI_HOME\ServiceDiscovery, and run the following command:

   read_rules_from_db.bat filename.xml
   

   filename

   Specifies the output .xml file you want to create. If a file by the same name already exists, you are prompted to use a different filename and you must run the .bat file again with the new filename. You can use a relative or absolute path.

   Debug information displays as read_rules_from_db.bat creates the file.

   File creation completes and the .xml file appears either in the directory you specified or the ServiceDiscovery directory if you did not specify a path.
