When migrating individual users to another processor, or when migrating the complete processor, it is possible to provide the users with the same FTAC environment by saving the admission sets and admission profiles and restoring them on the new processor. Furthermore, you can also created backup copies of the FTAC environment on your processor by this method.
The following commands are available for migrating and saving the FTAC environment:
ftexpe: output FTAC environment to file
ftimpe: import FTAC environment from file
ftshwe: show FTAC environment from export file
You can also save and import admission sets and admission profiles via the openFT Explorer using the FTAC Environment command in the Administration menu. You will find a detailed description to it in the online help.
You can also view saved admission sets and admission profiles via the openFT Explorer by selecting the Open Export File command in the context menu of the Exported Admissions object in the navigation bar.
Saving and importing admission sets and admission profiles
When saving the FTAC environment you can select the admission sets and admission profiles which you wish to save for particular users. You must specify the name of the backup file.
In all cases, the standard admission set is not included in the backup.
When re-importing the saved FTAC environment you can make a distinction between sets, profiles and login names, i.e. you must not accept the entire backup contents. Please note that the values which refer to the standard admission set are always assigned the values of the currently valid admission set.
If you have FT administrator rights as the FTAC administrator, the admission profiles that you import will be immediately available with the status that was set on exporting the profile. If you do not have FT administrator rights, imported profiles will initially remain locked for all user IDs and must be unlocked (e.g via ftmodp -v=y).
