Backing up and restoring configuration settings
Follow these steps to backup and restore your configuration settings defined with the Application Management Configuration Editor.
This section provides the following information:
Backing up configuration settings
Use
the following procedure to back up your Application Management Configuration Editor configuration
settings, such as profiles, applications, transactions, and maintenance
schedules:
- Shut down the Application Management Console agent to ensure that no files are saved during the backup process.
- Back up the entire directory: $CANDLE_HOME/kt1depot/T3.Note that the following files and directories are regenerated every time that the Application Management Console agent starts, so they do not necessarily need to be backed up or restored:
- /TEMP/*.*
- .index.xml (this file is regenerated when the agent starts)
- filedepot.ser (this file is regenerated when the agent starts, but is no longer used in V7.3 and later versions)
- camconfig/*.* (this directory is regenerated when the agent starts)
- */compressed.encoded (some directories will contain this file, which is regenerated when the agent starts)
- Restart the Application Management Console agent.
Restoring configuration settings
Use
the following procedure to restore your Application Management Configuration Editor configuration
settings that have been previously backed up:
- Shut down the Application Management Console agent to ensure that no files are overwritten during the restore process.
- Copy the backed up files to the directory: $CANDLE_HOME/kt1depot/T3.
- Restart the Application Management Console agent.
If the depot has been restored to a different Application Management Console agent, or to a different IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment, the profile distribution lists might contain agents or managed system lists that do not exist in the new environment.
