Exporting / importing workgroup server databases with nsqmigr – meshIQ

Use the nsqmigr utility to export/import workgroup server and node information in bulk. nsqmigr connects to the workgroup server and either inquires (exports) or updates (imports) database data to or from a .info file. You can create backups and restore workgroup server databases with this utility. See the below sections for more information.

Export (get) / create a backup

Run a command similar to the following to export workgroup server databases to a .info file. Be sure to update workgroup_name and filename accordingly.

nsqmigr -g –mworkgroup_name -ffilename.info

For a full listing of nsqmigr's command line options, enter this command: nsqmigr -?

The file is created in the following default export directory with the name specified when you ran the above command. You can override this directory by including a directory path with the -f parameter, for example, -fC:\nastel\apwmq\config\groups\NASTELWGS.info.

[APWMQ_HOME]/config/groups

Example file

The following is an example of a .info file.

Import (put) / restore

To import workgroup server databases, you will need a .info file. See the above section, Export (get) / create a backup, to create the .info file. Update the .info file as needed and place it in the following location:

[APWMQ_HOME]/config/groups

When the workgroup server is restarted, the file will automatically load and the database will be created/updated. Please note that the .info file is deleted after it is successfully imported, but is first backed up in the following directory:

 [APWMQ_HOME]/config/groups/workgroup/history
