Importing Configuration of User-defined IC Tests

In many IT infrastructures, as an industry-standard best practice, administrators may have added a new test using the Integration Console capability offered by the eG Enterprise, and may want to add the same test across the servers in their environment. To achieve this, administrators may have to painstakingly document the ‘ideal’ configuration and then manually login to each server, add the test one by one. To reduce the manual effort and time involved in this exercise, eG Enterprise enables administrators to quickly apply the configuration of a test added using the Integration Console to other servers at one go, using a simple export-import routine.

To enable a manager say, Manager B to import the configuration that was exported from a manager say Manager A, follow the steps below:

1. First, copy the zip file that was exported from the default download destination of the Manager A to any folder on Manager B's host.
2. Then, login to Manager B's administrative interface and select the Test option from the Export/Import Configuration option that is available under the Miscellaneous menu of the Admin tile.
3. From the Export/Import Configuration - Integration Console - Test page, click on the Import configuration tab page.
4. Using the Browse button in this page, browse the Manager B's host to locate the zip file that contains the configurations to be imported.
5. Then, click on the Upload button to upload the file to the server.
6. Once the file is uploaded, all the tests that were exported by Manager A will then appear. With the help of this page, you can choose the tests that you want to import. To select a test, click on the check box corresponding to it. To select all displayed tests, click on the check box against the Test Name. To deselect a particular test, simply uncheck the check box corresponding to the test in this page. To search for a test of your choice, you can use the Search option.

   If you wish to filter the tests based on the category that was chosen while adding the test, then you have to select an option from the Test type list. By default, All option will be chosen from this list indicating that all the tests will be listed in this page, by default.

7. To begin the import of the selected tests, click on the Import button.
8. If import is successful, a message stating “Test has been imported successfully” will appear in this page.
