For this procedure, you can export a Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 server configuration to file. A server
configuration includes all management agents and the metaverse
configuration. This can be helpful when you want to export a
known-good server configuration that you want to use for emergency
recovery or to import to another server. To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as a member of the MIISAdmins security group.
To export server configuration to file
On the File menu, click Export Server
Configuration.
In Browse for folder, select the location for the export
files.
Important
When you export a server configuration to file, for management
agents, Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 does not save
the associated connector space and connector space objects. In
addition, any associated rules extensions and run scripts are not
exported to file. It is recommended that you save these files in a
separate folder from the exported server configuration.
Notes
Server configuration is exported as a set of read-only files in
XML format. The server configuration is always named Mv.xml. Each
management agent is exported as a separate file with a globally
unique identifier (GUID) as its name. You can only export one
server configuration (and its management agents) to the same
location. To export more than one server configuration, you must
create a separate file location for each export.
When you export a server configuration to file, for management
agents, Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 does not save
template input files or custom data input files from the connected
data source. To keep your template input file or custom data input
files, manually save them in the same location as the exported
server configuration files.
You can also use the command-line tool, Srvexport, to export a
server configuration to file. For more information, see Related
