Include Configuration Objects in Import of Entire Content Store
You can include configuration objects when importing an entire content store. For example, you may want to import the configuration because you have a series of advanced settings for your services that you want from the source environment.
By default, configuration objects are excluded when you import an entire content store, even though they are included in the export. Configuration objects include dispatchers and configuration folders used to group dispatchers. For more information, see Rules For Deploying the Entire Content Store.
We recommend that you do not import configuration objects. Dispatchers should be configured in your target environment before you import data from a source environment. If you must import configuration objects, you should either stop the source dispatcher services before the import, or restart IBM Cognos 8 in the target environment after the import. Otherwise, you may get errors with the status of dispatchers. If you want to import configuration objects, you must be prepared for a brief interruption of services.
Steps
In IBM Cognos Connection, in the upper-right corner, click Launch, IBM Cognos Administration.
On the Configuration tab, click Dispatchers and Services.
Click the dispatcher you want.
Next to ContentManagerService, click the set properties button.
Click the Settings tab.
In the Value column, click Edit.
Select the Override the settings acquired from the parent entry check box.
In the Parameter column that appears, type the following in uppercase:
CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION
In the Value column, type true
Click OK to finish.
