Replicating Broker Metadata
The export and import capability is useful for copying large numbers of related Broker objects to another location, as it significantly reduces the time required for object creation and configuration.
You can use the export and import functionality:
To replicate hierarchies (or branches) of
Broker objects from one location in your
Broker system to another (for example, replicating a
Broker Server and its dependent objects to a different territory).
To replicate a hierarchy of objects to a different
Broker installation.
Using export and import to replicate Broker metadata saves substantial administration work because this process does most of your Broker object creation and configuration. You may only need to rename some Broker objects and reset their properties, rather than create and reconfigure hundreds of Broker objects one at a time.
