There are several options.

If you used the smartsetmaint command to dump your definitions to a file, then you can use the colmaint command on UNIX to load them again. Try colmaint -h and you will see that the syntax is identical. So ftp your smartsetmaint dump file to UNIX and run
colmaint -l <file name>

That should work.

If it does not for some reason, but you have a list of the smartset rules obtained with smartsetutil on Windows then you can use the UNIX nvUtil command to add them again. The Windows smartsetutil command is a clone of the UNIX nvUtil command. The same syntax applies.

nvUtil | smartsetutil a "<name>" "<description>" "<rule>"

If you don't have the rule but you know or remember the selection criteria, then use the smartset editor, collectioned, on UNIX. It's a lot simpler than the Windows one.

Hi List,

We recently migrated from NV 7.1.4 (Windows) to NV 7.1.5 (Linux), took a backup of entire 'usr' folder, but later decided not restore to linux but to do a rediscovery. Rediscovery was done smoothly had some issues migrating the DNS to BIND as well but its resolved. Now the problem is we had a lot of smartsets maintained on the Windows enviornment, how do we migrate those to Linux? We have a backup which we took using the smartsetmaint/smartutil scripts. Is there a way to restore the smartsets using the backup.

Thanks in advance


Regards,
Usman Taokeer_______________________________________________
