<![CDATA[exporting]]>hi,

i am using netxms 1.1.9 with postgre sql on a linux platform.
i have scripts in my script library and i have object tools and i have other places with configuration that i cannot export.
i have deleted all the nodes and now i want to export it.
i have invoked "nxdbmgr export netxms.db" and it worked fine but it exported all the idata and names and ip address that i did not want to export.
i have invoked "nxdbmgr init netxms.db" and stopped giving an error with sqlite.

what is the correct way to export the db ?

the whole thing is too risky.
i have exported everything i could using the old console and what i could not export i am going to leave in the exported file.
in the new server i will open the DB and copy/paste the values,it seems more safe this way.
we have to have a normal and easy way to export everything we have created.

if i leave the defaults created by the software and only what i want it will be ok ?
won't it destroy the indexing and the "id's" and etc. that have been created automatically ?

what will happen if the only info i left is the info i have created meening i have cleared all the info that the setup and the program creates.
wanted to give you an example. lets say that i have cleared everything in the event_policy table leaving only the events i created,when i do an import it will delete the default rows created by the system and leave only what was imported ?

No, if you delete metadata nxdbmgr will not be able to handle import file. Please also note that during import target database is cleared before import.

For successful import, you should keep tables, but just delete all content. Otherwise import will fail. You can delete all idata_* tables. You should do import using same version of NetXMS as you use for export.

i have opened the DB and started cleaning everything that i did not wanted.
basically i want the "object tools", "script library", "agent config" and "event rules", all of the customized config that aren't exportable.
what will happen if i delete all the unwanted tables in the DB and leave those i want and do an import ? will it work ? will i have to do this with the same version of netxms and afterwords upgarde to later release.

i have "vacuumed" the DB and then i have invoked "nxdbmgr check" and it indeed got rid of every "idata" and every node that i have deleted but...
i think that the snmp log and the event log were not cleand.

what is the next step ?
