Uploading and importing GIM modules

Use the Upload Modules page to upload, import, view, and delete GIM bundles and modules.

About this task

The Upload module page opens the list of all modules and bundles on the Guardium system, their status (imported or uploaded), their OS and version, and the date they were imported. You can modify the view by:
  • Use the free text filter.
  • Hide earlier versions of a bundle or module by checking Show only latest version in the table header.
  • View the modules included in a bundle. Click plus next to a bundle name.
  • Expand all bundles. Click Expand all modules in the table header.

Procedure

  1. Go to Manage > Module Installation > Upload Modules.
  2. To upload a module:
    1. Click New to open the Upload module dialog.
    2. Click Browse and select a GIM bundle or module to upload.
    3. Click Upload.
    4. In the Confirmation dialog, select one of:
    • Import now: Imports the bundle or module and makes it available for deployment to GIM clients. The resulting status is Imported.
    • Import later: Does not import the bundle or module. The resulting status is Uploaded.
  3. To import one or more bundles or modules, select each one and click Import
  4. To delete a bundle or module, select it and click delete and click Yes to confirm.
    Only bundles and modules that are not being used by a GIM client can be deleted. Deleting a bundle or module removes it both from the Upload Module table and from the file system.
