# Exporting Discovery Configuration

The XML report export can be used to create be used to create a discovery configuration import document based on the current database's network and device discovery configuration, for use if creating or migrating to a new database. This process makes use of the attached .view file and .xslt transform document.

## Steps

1. Extract zip file
2. Load DiscoveryProgressTransformer.view in SiteAudit
3. Export an XML report

## Extract zip file

Download the attached zip file, and extract the contents, resulting in **C:\\DiscoveryProgressTransformer** with contents of** DiscoveryProgressTransformer.view **and **DiscoveryProgressTransformer.xlst **by default. The configuration of the .view file expects this particular path, but can be changed if necessary.

## Load DiscoveryProgressTransformer.view in SiteAudit

Open the SiteAudit viewer, and load DiscoveryProgressTransformer.view. This should display a view based on the Discovery Progress view. Verify the data in this view is what is expected for export. From the **Reports**/**File Format Options**/**XML format options** tab, verify the path for DiscoveryProgressTransformer.xslt. If the location of these files have changed from the default, enter the corrected path for this file.

## Export an XML report

Again from the Reports menu, choose the **Export** option, and select **XML**. Save to the desired location when prompted. Open the file, and verify the contents are as expected and ready for import.
