Migrating QPM Information
QPM 3.1 includes an export utility and an import utility, which enable you to:
•
Migrate and upgrade QPM 3.0.x information to QPM 3.1
•Migrate QPM information from one QPM 3.1 server to another
Note The export and import utilities are available on the QPM 3.1 CD-ROM, and are copied to the QPM server in the installation process.
The following topics describe how to use the QPM 3.1 export and import utilities.
•Exporting QPM 3.x Information
•Importing QPM 3.x Information
Note For information about exporting QPM 2.1.x database information, see "Exporting QPM 2.1.x Databases."
Exporting QPM 3.x Information
You can export all the information from QPM 3.0.x or QPM 3.1 including:
•QPM database containing device and policy information
•QPM reports
•QPM configuration information
Use the export utility when you want to migrate and upgrade QPM 3.0.x information to QPM 3.1, or when you want to migrate QPM 3.1 from one server to another.
You specify the destination folder to which you want the information exported.
Note When upgrading QPM 3.0.x information, you must use the export utility from the QPM 3.1 installation CD-ROM, before you uninstall QPM 3.0.x. See Installation Sequence to Upgrade from QPM 3.0.x.

Importing QPM 3.x Information
Use the import utility to import the information from the QPM 3.1 export utility into QPM 3.1. If you have exported information from QPM 3.0.x, the import utility automatically upgrades the information for QPM 3.1.
Note When you use the import utility, any existing QPM information is overwritten. You should therefore import information before you begin working with QPM.
