policyExport

The policyExport utility extracts policies from the database.

Purpose

The policy extraction process entails the export of all data associated with a policy, including rules, definitions, extractions, actions and parameters.

Syntax

When you invoke the policyExport utility, the following syntax is supported:


----------------------------------------------------------------
1: ./policyExport.sh -policy <name>=<revision>
2: ./policyExport.sh -policy <name>=<revision>,<name>=<revision>
3: ./policyExport.sh -policy <path>
4: ./policyExport.sh -policy <path>,<path>
5: ./policyExport.sh -all
----------------------------------------------------------------
Optional: -filename <exported zip name>
----------------------------------------------------------------

Note:

If -filename is not supplied to any of the commands, then a zip file of the following format will be created:

For a multiple policy export:: policies_<date/time>.zip
For a single policy export: policy_<date/time>.zip

Note: All zip files exported will be created in:
<install_dir>/compliance/db/export/policies
where install_dir is your installation directory.

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how this syntax is specified.

./policyExport -policy newPolicy=1: Where newPolicy is the name of the policy and 1 is the revision.
./policyExport -realm NSA/v1 -filename nsa_policies: Where NSA/v1 is the name of a policy realm that you want to export and nsa_policies is the name of the exported zip file.; All policies in this realm and subrealms will be exported and saved as:
<install_dir>/compliance/db/export/policies/nsa_policies.zip; Where install_dir is your installation directory.
./policyExport -all: Where -all means that all policies in the database will be exported.; The policies will be saved as:
<install_dir>/compliance/db/export/policies/policies_<date/time>.zip; Where install_dir is your installation directory, and date/time is determined by the date and time the policies are exported.
