Before executing the command, make sure you check the information to be exported in case the IM Configuration Management database contains management information that has not been applied in the actual system.
You can specify options in the jcfexport command to select the types of management information to export. For the command syntax, see jcfexport in Chapter 1. Commands in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
The following table describes the range of information you can specify for export.
