How to Move Resources From One Domain to Another Domain

This task describes how to move credentials, Data Flow Probes, and Probe ranges from one domain (the source domain) to another domain (the target domain).

  1. Prerequisite: Deactivate all running jobs and all activities running in all the Management Zones.
  2. Stop each Data Flow Probe in the source domain that you want to move to the target domain. For details, see How to Stop a Data Flow Probe.

  3. On each Probe machine, open ..\hp\UCMDB\DataFlowProbe\conf\dataFlowProbe.properties, and locate the following line:

    appilog.collectors.domain =

    Set the parameter's value to ${DefaultDomain}.

    Save the changes, but do not yet restart the Probe.

  4. In UCMDB, go to Data Flow Management > Data Flow Probe Setup and for each Probe under your source domain:

    1. Select the Probe and click Export To CSV to export the Probe's ranges to a CSV file.

    2. Delete the Probe from the source domain.

  5. Create a new domain—the target domain—with Type = Customer.
  6. In the source domain, select each credential, click Copy selected credential to another domain , and select the target domain that you created above.

  7. In UCMDB, go to Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager.

    1. From the Filter by column drop-down list, select Name, and in the adjacent box, type domain.
    2. Among others, the Default Domain Property Value setting is displayed. In the Value column of this setting, enter the name of the target domain you created above.
    3. Save your changes.

  8. Delete all the ipaddress and ipsubnet CIs from your CMDB.

  9. On each Probe:

    1. Run clearProbeData.bat. For details, see How to Clear Data Flow Probe Data.

    2. Start the Probe. For details, see How to Start a Data Flow Probe.

      Note Ensure that the Probe started properly.

  10. In UCMDB, go to Data Flow Management > Data Flow Probe Setup:

    1. Check that all the Probes from the source domain now appear under the target domain you created above.

    2. For each Probe, import the corresponding CSV with the Probe ranges that you exported earlier.
