You can export polling notifications from one Integration Server to another Integration Server. You do not need to disable notifications in order to export them. In most cases, the current state of the notifications in the package that you export is retained. However, if you deploy to a different Integration Server and connect to a different database, then you should first disable the notification.

The start date of the polling notification is stored in the shared cache location. When the notifications are exported, if the notification is unable to fetch the start date from the cache, the start date for the first notification will be calculated based on the day count configured for the adapter polling notification. When Integration Server with the exported notifications starts, each configured notification starts to poll the changed data from Salesforce.com.

If you want to export configured polling notifications in a disabled state, you need to disable the notifications before you export the package containing them. To enable or disable a polling notification, see Managing Polling Notifications.

For more information about Insert Notifications, Update Notifications, or Delete Notifications, see Polling Notification Types.

For more information about exporting packages, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
