Merging databases in the background using the merge settings file
You might find this helpful if you want to use a third-party scheduling tool to schedule
the merge process. To merge ePolicy Orchestrator databases in the background using
the merge settings file:
1 At the command line, type the path of the DB Merge Tool (AVIDB_MERGE_TOOL.EXE),
type the silent parameter to run the program in the background, followed by the path
of the merge settings file.
For example, if the program and merge settings file are in the default location, type
the following:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE\EPO\3.6.0\AVI\AVIDB_MERGE_TOOL.EXE /SILENT
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE\EPO\3.6.0\AVI\SETTINGS.TXT
2 An Anti-Virus Informant DB Merge Tool - Choose Destination Database icon appears on the
taskbar to indicate that the merge process is running.
Importing events into the database
You can import events from another ePolicy Orchestrator database into the current one,
so that the selected events are available for reporting purposes.
Note
You must be a global administrator to import events.
To import events from one ePolicy Orchestrator database into another:
1 Back up both databases.
2 Log onto the desired ePolicy Orchestrator database server using ePolicy
Orchestrator authentication and a global administrator user account.
