Settings Migration Tool is used for configuration retrieval, deployment, exploration and comparison.
With Settings Migration Tool, deployment and retrieval are fully interactive, so you can include just the items and dependencies you want. Inspect retrieved configuration or explore differences between a XoomXML file and the managed system.
Settings Migration Tool is designed for all levels of expertise.
For situations where interactivity is unnecessary, use Xoom Console. If you want to automate retrieval or deployment, as with configuration versioning, use Xoom Processor. If you want to generate reports, use Xoom Explorer.
