How to Migrate Management Zone Folders

This topic describes how to migrate Management Zone folders from one instance to another.

If the Management Zone tree contains customized folders, you need to migrate all these folders before migrating Management Zones.

Migrate folders

To migrate Management Zone folders,

1. Log in to the UCMDB JMX console of the source instance. (Launch the Web browser and enter the following address: https://localhost:8443/jmx-console. You may have to log in with a user name and password.)

2. In the UCMDB JMX Quick Search box, enter listResourceTypes, and then click the result that appears below the search box to locate the listResourceTypes operation.

3. Enter your Customer ID. (Default: 1)
4. Click Invoke.
5. From the returned list of resource types, locate and click Discovery_FOLDER_MZ.

6. Click the Resource ID link for each resource in the returned list, and then back up the code in the Resource XML text box for later use.

   Repeat this step until you back up the XML code for all folders.

7. Log in to the UCMDB JMX console of the target instance, and then perform the same operations as described in step 2 through step 5.

8. Click Add new resource, paste the backup XML code for one of the folders into the Resource XML text box, and then click Save resource.

   Repeat this step until you add all the folders.

   Note Always add higher-level folders before adding lower-level folders. For example, add the folders in the following order if the Management Zone tree has three layers under Root:

   1. The first-layer folders, which are directly under the Root folder.
   2. The second-layer folders.
   3. The third-layer folders.
