Hi all,
I want to fast & easily migrate all the correlations rules from one DMS to another.
I saw that the correlation rules are inside the: C:\Skyline DataMiner\Correlation ; txf and xml files.
Is there a way to easily copy over the files ?
Maybe a sort of a procedure like the one Alexander provided on a similar migration topic :
Thanks.

Hi Daniel,
Some quick pointers that might be of use:
- The XML files in C:\Skyline DataMiner\Correlation are what is relevant for correlation rules. TXF files have cached contents and do not need to be copied over.
- A Correlation_xxxxx.xml file contains the entire definition of the correlation rule, the filters being used and the actions being configured.
- Be aware that if your correlation rule contains references to cluster-specific data like elements / views / automation scripts / ..., the rule will not work properly unless those objects are available on the target system. You might need to edit the Correlation_xxxx.xml file prior to copying it over, or fix the configuration afterwards from the Cube correlation rule editor, or make sure things like required automation scripts are also copied over.
- Copying a Correlation_xxxxx.xml file onto a DataMiner Agent of another cluster will load the rule after a DMA restart.
- Be aware of synchronization. After DMA startup with the copied rules, it's best to trigger System Center > Tools > synchronization > Synchronize > File > C:\Skyline DataMiner\Correlation\Correlation_xxxxx.xml” to ensure the file gets synchronized to other agents in the cluster.
Hope this helps!
