Use the get_policies.pl program to
copy your poll policies from one network domain to another, or between
a file and a domain.
Before you begin
If you provide a domain name with either the -to or -from options,
you must be connected to the NCIM and NCMONITOR databases. The connections
are created based on the settings in the DbLogins.DOMAIN.cfg file,
or the DbLogins.cfg file if no domain-specific
file is found.
The domain provided on the command-line interface
(CLI) must have an entry in the domainMgr NCIM table.
Procedure
- Change to the NCHOME/precision/scripts/perl/scripts directory
and locate the get_policies.pl program.
- Run the get_policies.pl program to
copy poll policies.
The following table describes the possible
actions and what to enter on the CLI.
