Configuring and Administering CA XCOM Management Center › Export and Import Process

Export and Import Process

Users with proper authority can export server information and configuration files and save them as an xml files on the web server.

The Administration page of the website provides a facility to enable server information to be exported to an xml file by the Super Admin. The Super Admin can then use the import function to import the server information, with the possibility of adding the servers to the CA XCOM Management Center configuration.

Exported server files are stored in the following directory on the web server:

xxxxx/loginuserid/ExportedServers

xxxxx

Tthe value of the HOMEDIRECTORY parameter of the EXPORT element in the Global Parameters file.

loginuserid

The ID of the logged in user (or the first 60 characters of the logged in user ID if the user ID length is more than 60 characters).

Users with proper authority can also export configuration files as an xml file and save them on the web server. The users can then use the import function to import the transfer records in the exported configuration file and display them on the CA XCOM Management Center Schedule Transfer main page for further processing.

Exported configuration files are stored in the following directory on the web server:

xxxxx/loginuserid/ExportedConfigurations

xxxxx

Tthe value of the HOMEDIRECTORY parameter of the EXPORT element in the Global Parameters file.

loginuserid

The ID of the logged in user (or the first 60 characters of the logged in user ID if the user ID length is more than 60 characters).

For more information about exporting and importing configuration files, see the chapter "Using CA XCOM Management Center through the Internet.”

As with global parameters, this makes it possible to edit exported files using a suitable text editor. It is also possible to programmatically generate server and configuration file information, in xml form, and then import them into CA XCOM Management Center.

For more information about the format of the xml files, see the appendix “XML Formats.”
