Import Options—Select an import method to be used if a conflict occurs between existing records stored in the Junos Scope server and imported records when synchronizing Junos Scope settings imported from multiple servers, The available import method options include:

• Ignore—(Default) An existing record stored in the Junos Scope server takes precedence over any imported record. The imported record is ignored and the existing record is not affected. Any imported record that does not exist in the Junos Scope server is inserted.

• Merge—If a record exists in the Junos Scope server and also exists in the imported record, the imported record is merged with the existing record and is augmented as necessary. If an imported record is in conflict with an existing record, the imported record takes precedence over the existing record. The existing record is merged with the imported record; however, the fields of the imported record take precedence over the fields of the existing record. Any imported record that does not exist in the Junos Scope server is inserted.

• Override—All records in the Junos Scope server are deleted, then all imported records are inserted. Before the override operation occurs, a message window appears with the following confirmation prompt: “ The import with override option will delete all the existing records. Do you want to continue?” Select Yes or No to continue.
