yes | nohup ./migrate ...

Sends the yes input to the interactive migrate command through the pipeline.

Forces the migrate command to ignore the hangup signals from the shell. As a result, when the CLI session closes, the command continues to run in the background.

export

Exports the management database and applicable Check Point configuration.

import

Imports the management database and applicable Check Point configuration that were exported from another Management Server.

-l

Exports and imports the Check Point logs without log indexes in the $FWDIR/log/ directory.

Note - The command can export only closed logs (to which the information is not currently written).

-f

Filters private data.

Note - This parameter is valid only for the export operation.

-n

Runs silently (non-interactive) using the default options for each setting.

Important:

• If you export a management database in this mode and the specified name of the exported file matches the name of an existing file, the command overwrites the existing file without prompting.
• If you import a management database in this mode, the command runs cpstop automatically.

--exclude-uepm-postgres-db

Does not back up the PostgreSQL database during the export operation.

Does not restore the PostgreSQL database during the import operation.

--include-uepm-msi-files

Backs up the MSI files from the Endpoint Security Management Server during the export operation.

Restores the MSI files from the Endpoint Security Management Server during the import operation.

/<Full Path>/

<Name of Exported File>

During the export operation, specifies the name of the output file. The command automatically adds the *.tgz extension.

During the import operation, specifies the name of the exported file. You must also add the *.tgz extension in the end.
