I specificly looking on what table or files are store all my defined events(alerts) and configuration I have done in SIM. In other words If I delete everything and re install the product what table/files i need to recover from my backups to have my system back. Like when I export all my servers to a Host file I know where to find this on the directories ......

Nice going posting a link to the manual, must be really looking to score points... :D

Luckily this one's only the 78 page version and not the full manual... ;-P

FYI Mikael, that was a 596 page user manual for HP SIM !!!! Probably you have downloaded the wrong link or the download is not complete.
I was referring to the page:141 which tells about the systems and event monitoring and saving.

Hi Raymond,
Can I know whether you are using SQL database or MSDE?

Hi Raymond,


Note: Removing HP Systems Insight Manager does not remove its database files. If you plan to reinstall HP Systems Insight Manager, you do not have to rename or remove the old database.


There is a destination where the configuration settings are stored which was mentioned in that document for the HP SIM user guide onn page-53.

It is located at C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config\globalsettings.props.

You may also find the event handlers on that path itself:
C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config


Tell me whether I am pointing you at the right direction.
