Defining the items to import

Copy the exported file to the target server, install the utility (if necessary), and define the items to import from the file.

1. Copy the data.zip file from the source server to the tip_home_dir/profiles/TIPProfile/input directory on the target server.
2. Make sure you are logged in to the target server as an administrative user and that the Tivoli Integrated Portal server is running.
3. Navigate to the directory containing the utility's properties file:

   cd webgui-home/integration/importexport_tool/etc

4. Edit the file OMNIbusWebGUI_settings.properties to define the items you want to import from the data.zip file.

   Many of the property definitions are a list of items. In these lists, put a comma between each item. In addition for properties that define file paths, use two backslash characters as the path separator on Windows systems; for example: C:\\IBM\\tivoli\\netcool\\omnibus_webgui.

   Set the following properties as required. To set a property, remove the leading comment marker and then provide a suitable value.

   Table 1. Setting properties to define the data to import

   Property	Value
   product.home	The installation directory of the Web GUI. Set this property if did not install the product into the default location. The default installation location is one of the following: ibm/tivoli/netcool/omnibus_webgui C:\IBM\tivoli\netcool\omnibus_webgui
   output.dir	The full path of the directory where you placed data.zip. For Tivoli Integrated Portal V2.2.0.7 or earlier: if you do not define this property, the utility expects to find the data.zip file in tip_home_dir/profiles/TIPProfile/output. For Tivoli Integrated Portal V2.2.0.9 or later: The folder where data.zip is extracted to during import. If you do not define this property the directory tip_home_dir/profiles/TIPProfile/output is used.
   import.importFile	Uses the full path to data.zip file. For Tivoli Integrated Portal V2.2.0.7 or earlier: this property is not used. For Tivoli Integrated Portal V2.2.0.9 or later: if you do not define this property, the utility expects to find the data.zip file in tip_home_dir/profiles/TIPProfile/input//data.zip.
   import.backupDir	The full path of the directory the utility uses to store backup copies of files it imports. Specify a directory other than output.dir, although you can specify a subdirectory in output.dir. If you do not define this property, the utility uses tip_home_dir/profiles/TIPProfile/backups.
