Data migration of an existing Microsoft Windows CMS to a new Insight Software 6.3 system

recommends setting the auto start mode for the services to manual. For the list of
services, see Appendix B: Stop order of services
table column Service Display
Name.
After a successful export operation, the default export file, Products.zip, is created in folder “<HPSIM
install Path>\data\configdate-export”. For an example of a successful export operation, see
Figure 1.
Since changes made to the managed environment after the export is done are not part of the exported file, the
source CMS Insight Software services must not be restarted to help ensure that no changes are made from the
source CMS. If changes are made after an export operation, HP recommends rerunning the export utility.
Failure to do so might result with the target CMS being out of sync with the managed environment. The
export operation can be executed multiple times on the source CMS. The export file is overwritten each time
if the same file name is specified.
Note:
If version 6.0 or earlier of HP Insight Software is installed on the source CMS,
services need to be stopped manually. See
Data Migration of an Existing MS
Windows CMS to a new Insight Software 6.0 system for a list of services to stop.
