Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.

Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |

Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |

Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|

Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse

Importing and Exporting System Data Overview
You can import and export Configuration Manager data using the JMX console. You might perform these operations, for example, if you want to move the system data from a staging to a production environment, or during recovery following a system crash.
The exported data includes the following resources:
-
The list of views managed by Configuration Manager and the managed CI types defined for each view in the Views module. The TQLs which the views reference are not exported.
-
The configuration policy setting defined in the Policies module. The TQLs that are referenced are not exported.
-
The saved configuration analysis results in the Configuration Analysis module, including the saved model and the composite CIs. The actual CI information for the composite CIs, for example its attributes, are not exported.
The export operation migrates the data and stores it in the file system of the machine on which Configuration Manager is running. You can also provide a network path and store the exported data on a different server. The data is exported as an XML file.
You can import the XML file containing the system data from Configuration Manager's file system to another Configuration Manager system of the same version. You can also provide a network path to import the exported data from a different server.
Caution
When importing system data from one Configuration Manager system to another, you must ensure that the Configuration Manager version is the same or compatible.
Before migrating data between two Configuration Manager instances, which means that each Configuration Manager instance is connected to a different Universal CMDB instance, you must first export the relevant TQLs and views from one Universal CMDB instance to the other.
If you applied a baseline policy, you need to export the TQL selected in the Advanced Filter box in the Policies module.
If you applied a topology policy, you need to export the Condition TQL in the Condition TQL box and the TQL selected in the Advanced Filter box in the Policies module.
To export the referenced TQLs, use the Package Manager in Universal CMDB. For details, see the Universal CMDB Administration Guide.

During each import operation, an amber_import_export.log file is generated to the <Configuration_Manager_installation_directory>\servers\<Configuration Manager server extension name>\logs directory.
All import actions are written to amber_import_export.log, including error messages and the reason for the error. For example,
-
Managing view 'View1'
-
View 'View1' already exists
-
View 'View1' was created
-
View 'View1' was not created: reason...
-
-
Adding configuration analysis (adhoc) model 'Model1'
-
Configuration analysis (adhoc) model 'Model1' was created
-

-
Adding policy rule 'Rule1'
-
