    You can use the EEM safex command to export EEM policies via an Autosys job. The same command can be used to import those EEM policies into a different EEM instance. This is a step-by-step guide on how to create and execute the job to complete the policy export(s) and import(s).

     

    NOTE: You can also export and import EEM policies using the EEM safex command via the command line by following this guide.

     

    Exporting EEM Policies

    • Download and extract the contents of the EEMr12_Export_Import_v4.zip into your %EIAM_HOME%\bin directory
    • Download and save the eem_safex_export.bat file
    • Use a text editor and edit the eem_safex_export.bat file (instructions on how to fill out the parameters are within the batch file)
    • Create an AE command job that looks similar to the one below:

    /* ----------------- eem_safex_export ----------------- */

     

    insert_job: eem_safex_export  job_type: CMD

    command: "FULL_PATH_TO_EEM_SAFEX_EXPORT.BAT"

    machine: localhost

    owner: Administrator@localhost

    permission:

    date_conditions: 0

    std_out_file: "FULL_PATH_OF_STD_OUT_FILE"

    std_err_file: "FULL_PATH_OF_STD_ERR_FILE"

    alarm_if_fail: 1

    • Execute the job
    • To determine if the job ran correctly, check the following two places:
      1. The location of your exported XML file [%EIAM_HOME%\bin\EEMr12_Export_Import_v4\XML directory]
      2. The std_out file [it should look similar to the output below]

    Importing EEM Policies

    • Download and save the eem_safex_import.bat file
    • Use a text editor and edit the eem_safex_import.bat file (instructions on how to fill out the parameters are within the batch file)
    • Create an AE command job that looks similar to the one below:

    /* ----------------- eem_safex_import ----------------- */
