Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide

6.5.3 Importing IM Configuration Management information

Using IM Configuration Management, you can import exported management information.

To import management information, execute the jcfimport command on the manager running IM Configuration Management.

The figure below shows the flow of processing when importing management information with IM Configuration Management.

Figure 6-31 Importing management information with IM Configuration Management

Because importing information changes the data held by the IM Configuration Management database, we recommend that you back up the existing data in the database before performing an import operation. If an error occurs during import, the data will be rolled back to its previous state.

You can specify options in the jcfimport command to select the types of management information to import. For the command syntax, see jcfimport in 1. Commands in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

The table below describes the range of information you can specify for import.

Table 6-24 Range of specifiable management information for import

To apply imported IM Configuration Management information to the actual system, you must apply the system hierarchy from the Edit IM Configuration window. For the procedure, see 8.2.5 Applying the system hierarchy in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Administration Guide.

Management information cannot be imported while any of the following operations are in progress in IM Configuration Management:

Collect, verify, synchronize, or apply the system hierarchy; obtain or release update rights to the system hierarchy

Collect, edit, or delete host information

Collect, edit, save, apply, or batch-distribute profiles
