8.5 Investigation Management Configuration Migration Utility

Use the Investigation Management Configuration Migration Utility to migrate Alert Viewer configuration metadata between environments. This utility provides a means to load alert and case configuration metadata into OFSBD as well as allows you to move configuration metadata between installations of OFSBD.

Configuration metadata is considered to be that metadata associated with the alert workflow, such as actions, action categories, and standard comments. The migration process handles ONLY database metadata and is executed using two separate procedures—extraction and loading. The extraction process pulls metadata from an environment into a file that can be can be moved, configuration controlled, and loaded into another environment. The load process loads these extracted files into the target environment.

To avoid accidental loading of Investigation Metadata into the incorrect environment, the Investigation Management Configuration Migration Utility enables you to name your source and target environments. On extract, you can specify the environment name to which you plan to load the Investigation Metadata. If you attempt to load it to a different environment, the system displays a warning prompt.

Note:

Because not all configuration metadata lies within the database it may be necessary to manually copy over XML files associated with configuration. This manual process is not handled by the Investigation Management Configuration Migration Utility. Any customized XML file pertaining to configuration will must be manually migrated.

Logs
