Restore a CA EEM Server for Use with CA User Activity Reporting Module

You can restore a CA User Activity Reporting Module application instance to a management server. Restoring the management server's CA EEM functionality involves running the safex utility which imports the backed up application instance.

To restore a management server's CA EEM functionality from a backup

1. Install the CA User Activity Reporting Module soft appliance on a new hardware server.
2. Access a command prompt and navigate to the directory, /opt/CA/LogManager/EEM.
3. Copy the backup file, <AppinstanceName>.xml.gz, to this directory from your external backup server.
4. Run the following command to retrieve the XML export file:

   gunzip <AppinstanceName>.xml.gz  
   

5. Execute the following command to restore the export file to the new management server

   ./safex -h eemserverhostname -u EiamAdmin -p password -f AppinstanceName.xml
   

   If you are running in FIPS mode, be sure to include the -fips option.

6. Navigate to the directory, /opt/CA/ELMAgent/bin.
7. Replace the default AgentCert.cer file with the backed-up file, CAELM_AgentCert.cer to ensure proper agent startup.
