Additional information Task flow context and policies Operation
This operation creates a K2 SAN in
K2Config with SiteConfig defined
devices. Uses the site name to check
if the K2 SAN already exists. The
operation will not import if the K2
SAN exists with the same name. The
operation can import all sites which
are K2 SANs from a single system
description file in a single import step. Use this operation for initial install/commission
(greenfield) sites. First define the site topology
using SiteConfig and complete network
configuration and software deployment. Then
import the SiteConfig system description into
K2Config and complete the K2 SAN
configuration. Import SiteConfig system
description file into
K2Config
This operation creates a SiteConfig
site with K2Config defined devices.
The operation removes all other sites. Use this operation when you're running
SiteConfig for the first time at a site with
existing K2 SANs that have already been
configured with K2Config. This allows you to
seed the SiteConfig system description with
device information that is already in the
K2Config XML file. After you have done this
operation for the first time, do not do it again. Import K2Config XML
into SiteConfig
This operation creates a SiteConfig
site with K2Config defined devices
but leaves existing sites as is. Use this operation when you've already defined
some sites using SiteConfig and you later want
to bring in another K2Config defined K2 SAN
that doesn't exist in SiteConfig. Do not merge
a K2Config XML that you've already merged.
If you do so, it is likely that SiteConfig will
create a new site with the same devices. Merge K2Config XML
into SiteConfig system
