Importing a Console
Perform the following steps to import definitions of consoles, event groups,
or operators from a file that was exported from an administrator's console in another TMR.
Importing adds the definitions to the event database in the receiving TMR.
Note: Only Tivoli administrators
defined to the receiving TMR can be imported as operators.
You cannot create a new Tivoli administrator in a TMR by
importing an operator that is not defined in the receiving TMR.
- Click
File > Import
from the pull-down menu. The Import dialog box is displayed.
- In the Import dialog box, type the path and name of the file to import
the definitions from or press the Browse
button to search and specify the file.
- If you typed the file name, press Enter to populate the Import dialog
with the objects available
from the file.
- Select the objects to import.
You can select
more than one object from each category.
- To resolve naming conflicts that may occur between existing and same-named imported
objects, click
the Conflict Strategy pull-down menu.
Conflict strategy controls how associations between existing and
same-named imported objects are preserved.
Select one of the following options for conflict strategy:
- Use Existing
- Specifies to use an existing object
and not import a same-named object.
Associations between existing and imported objects are preserved.
- Replace
- Specifies to replace an existing object with a same-named imported object.
Associations between existing and imported objects are preserved.
- Change Names
- Specifies that the software automatically change the name of a
same-named imported object.
The new name has a unique number appended to it.
Associations between existing and imported objects are not preserved.
- Click OK to import the definitions from the file
into the event database in your TMR.
- Close your console and then reopen it to access the imported objects.
