Importing a File Sync Policy

Before you begin

  • You must have an exported file sync policy configuration file.
  • If the exported file sync policy file is password protected, you must have the password on hand.
  • The SOTI MobiControl environment you are importing the file sync onto must be the same version as the environment you exported the file sync policy.

About this task

When moving SOTI MobiControl from one server to another, you can transfer file sync policies by exporting policies from the original server and importing them into the new server. The steps below describe how to import a file sync configuration file:

Procedure

  1. From the SOTI MobiControl web console main menu, select Main Menu > Policies > File Sync.
  2. In the Policies screen, select New File Sync Policy.
  3. In the Add File Sync Policy window, select Import from file.

    Import Existing File

  4. In the Import screen, drag the exported file sync, or select Browse File to launch the File Explorer and select the exported file sync configuration file.

    Import Profiles Drag or Browse

  5. In the Import screen, if the exported file sync configuration file is password protected, enter the password. Select → to continue with the next steps.

    Import File Sync

    Note: When the exported file sync configuration file is not password protected then the import proceeds whether you entered a password or not.
  6. Review any conflicts with importing file sync policies. You can choose to continue importing as a copy or skip item.
    • Copy: Copies and imports the content of the file sync (script and schedule) to the destination server.
    • Skip: Skips importing the content of the file sync (script and schedule) to the destination server.

    Review File Sync policy conflict

    Note: When importing file sync policies, the server path field is intentionally omitted due to variations in the server paths across different servers. As a result, imported file sync policies are in a draft state and require editing to complete the server path field before assignment.

Results

You have successfully imported the file sync policy(s).
