Using the Monitor action services export and import tool

If you want to move a template from a development system to a production system, you can use the Monitor action services data export and import tool to export the defined actions and templates data, which are stored in the Monitor database, to an XML file. You can also use the tool to import this XML file into another Monitor database.

1. Go to WAS_home\scripts.wbm\AAMExport\, and open the batch file named runAAMExport.bat in edit mode.
2. Ensure that the %JDBC_DIR% variable is set and points to the correct Java JDBC directory for the database type you are using for the Monitor database.
3. Ensure that the %JDBC_DRIVER% variable is set to the correct JAR file for the database type you are using. See the config.properties file for details about the JAR file name for each supported database type.
4. Save and close the file.
5. Open the file named config.properties in edit mode.
6. Ensure that the correct database section is uncommented for your installation.
7. To set the source and target of the tool, modify the values for each property in this file.
8. Save and close the file.
9. Run the runAAMExport.bat file as follows:
   1. Open a command-line window.
   2. Call the batch file by typing runAAMExport.bat and pressing Enter.
   3. If you want to specify a different location for the config.properties file, add the following code to the command-line after the batch file name:

      -DActionManager.mover.configFile=config.properties_new_file_name_and_path

      For example, you can change the location as follows:

      runAAMExport.bat 
      -DActionManager.mover.configFile=C:\temp\example.properties

   4. You can also enter any property with its value in this command line to override the value that exists in the config.properties file. You override the value as follows:

      -D  property_name=property_value 

   Note: The tool will overwrite any actions or templates with the same name that already exist in the Monitor database.
