Exporting QPM 2.1.x Databases

You can export information from your QPM 2.1.x databases to an XML file and then import the device information and the policies from the XML file into QPM 3.0.

The following topics describe how to install the QPM 2.1.2 patch that contains the export utility and how to use the utility to export your QPM 2.1.x databases to an XML file.

Installing QPM Export Utility

The QPM Export Utility is contained in the QPM 2.1.2 patch, which is included on your QPM 3.0 installation CD-ROM. Use the following procedure to install the patch on the computer on which QPM 2.1 is installed.

Note   We do not recommend installing QPM 2.1.2 from a network CD-ROM drive.

Before You Begin

Procedure

Step 2   Select Start > Run, and enter d:\QPM-PRO-Patch\QoSPolicyManager-Patch2.1.2g.exe, where d is your CD-ROM drive.

This will start the installation on your system. Before replacing files, the installation will stop the Cisco QoS Manager service and will restart it after the installation completes.

Using the QPM Export Utility

Use the QPM export utility to export the contents of a QPM 2.1.x database to an XML file. The XML file will be required if you want to import device and policy information from QPM 2.1.x databases into QPM 3.0.

The XML file contains all the device and policy information in the database.

Procedure

Step 2   Navigate to the folder in which you want to save the XML file. Change the default name, if required.

Step 3   Click Save. A message appears in the Status bar after the database has been exported to the XML file.

You can view the XML file in your browser.

See the User Guide for QoS Policy Manager for information about importing device information and policy information from the XML file to QPM 3.0.
