Replace with XML data

Use Replace with XML Data to import data from an XML file and delete any object that was not specified in that XML file.

To replace data using the Replace with XML Data dialog box

1. Select Replace with XML Data in the left pane of the Network Management Console (NMC) context menu.

2. Select the directory and file name of the desired XML file.

3. Select Open.

   The Replace with XML Data dialog box will appear.

   

4. Select Yes.

   After a successful import, any object that was not specified in the XML file will be automatically deleted.

5. Select Refresh in the left pane of the NMC context menu, if the replaced data does not appear in the right-hand pane.

   If you selected an XML file that loaded data into the selected folder node, then the new data will appear in the right-hand side list pane. If you selected an XML file which contained XML data for another folder node, you must select that other folder node and force a refresh in order to see the merged data. Property value validation that is specific to the folder node type may be executed when merging XML data; therefore, it is recommended that you only import XML files that contain data for the selected folder node.
