Importing and Exporting Data

This appendix describes how to export database information from one SBR Carrier server to an XML file, and then selectively import database information into another SBR Carrier server. The ability to export and import information facilitates configuration of multiple SBR Carrier servers of the same type (operating system and release level) and role (standalone, primary, or replica).

SBR 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 SBR Carrier.
