Export Policy from EC 4.0 to 4.7

DFINetAdmin

I have a server that is currently running Enterprise Console 4.0.  I would like to export some of the policies that have been created in this environment, then import on my new server that is running EC 4.7 but I don't seem to see an export capability?

    Hi Christian.

    Thought to maybe try and import Server A's database onto B? Would that work?

    Hello Brendan,

    in principle yes. But the database (there's more than one) for SEC 5.3 is SOPHOS521 and for SEC 5.4 it's SOPHOS540 - so the imported database must also to be migrated. It's not a supported scenario (but this doesn't matter because the worst thing to happen is that it simply doesn't work [;)]).

    About half a year ago I've written this cryptic sentences in small print
    One subject I have not yet addressed: You probably want to upgrade to SEC 5.4, don't you? To my knowledge an upgrade-migration is not a supported scenario but possible. You'd use the sec_540 installer to install the database component. Instead of DataBackupRestore you'd use RestoreDB.bat to restore SOPHOS521, SOPHOSPATCH52, and SophosSecurity. You'd then proceed installing the server components. After importing the registry (chapter 11) the Initial Catalog in DatabaseConnectionMS must be (re-)set to SOPHOS540.
    in enterprise console migration. Supposed to work.
    You'll have all the endpoints in there, you'd have to decide whether to a) keep them, b) delete them, or c) remove them from the database (unsupported). b) just flags them as deleted but keeps all the objects and their associated events and alerts as well as their group membership. c) naturally shrinks the database and gets rid of the useless clutter.
