Importing A Repository

About this task

When you import a repository, the WMC deletes some information held in the existing repository. Exactly which information is deleted depends on which option you select when you import the repository, as explained in this topic. However, the system log is not deleted. Therefore, you could potentially see system log entries from the previous repository. Once you have imported a repository, you cannot roll back to a previous repository. Therefore, it is recommended that you export the existing repository before importing another repository.

You must stop and undeploy all project configurations on the WMC, before you can import a repository. When the WMC successfully imports a repository, all the project configurations are in the undeployed state.

Procedure

In the Navigation pane, select Repository > Configurations. The Project Configurations page is displayed.
From the Configurations Filter list, select All. All project configurations are displayed.
Stop and undeploy all project configurations.
In the Navigation pane, select Repository > Import. The Import Repository dialog box is displayed.
In the Repository File field, specify the path for the repository that you want to import.
Choose an import option:
- Project and User Settings
  
  Imports all the contents of the repository file you select. All projects are imported in the undeployed state.
- Project Settings Only
  
  Imports projects, configurations, notification policies, and job logs, from the repository file you select. All projects are imported in the undeployed state.
  Note: Any projects, configurations, notification policies and job logs that exist prior to the import will be deleted.
- User Settings Only
  
  Imports only the user setting information from the repository file you select. User setting information includes: network configurations, users and groups, licenses, job log filter parameters, system log levels, downtime rules and passwords.
Click Import to verify that you would like to proceed.

Results

The Integration Appliance imports the repository and restarts the Integration Appliance. When the import is complete, the WMC login window displays.
