You invest a great deal of time and effort carefully designing and testing the incident rule sets that automate Enterprise Manager incident management practices within your organization. Typically, the design and test phase of rule set creation is carried out in a separate Enterprise Manager test environment. Incident Manager's rule set import/export functionality simplifies moving rule sets from your development environment to your production environment.

In addition to moving rule sets from a test environment to a production environment, the import/export functionality also allows you to back up incident rule sets so they can be safely archived in case of disaster. More importantly, the import/export functionality makes it easy to standardize incident management automation processes across your Enterprise Manager environments.
