Importing and Exporting Data
This appendix describes how to export database information from one Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server to an XML file, and then selectively import database information into another Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server. The ability to export and import information facilitates configuration of multiple Steel-Belted Radius Carrier servers of the same type (operating system and release level) and role (stand-alone, primary, or replica).
Steel-Belted Radius Carrier uses XML files with UTF-8 encoding to store exported information. Export files contain only those attributes that have been assigned values, including defaults. For example, if an exported local user item does not have a profile associated with it, the exported information does not identify a profile name, though it includes default values required by Steel-Belted Radius Carrier.
