dbImport

Edit online

The dbImport utility imports policies into the database.

Purpose

The dbImport utility imports policies into the database. The utility creates the XML data sets as a result of previously running the dbExport utility.

The data that the dbImport utility imports must be placed in the following install directory:

$(INSTALL_HOME)/db/export/tables

This is the same location where the dbExport utility creates the exported XML files.

Syntax

To invoke the dbImport utility, use the following syntax:

./dbImport

Tables exported

By default, the dbImport utility imports the following tables into the database:

  • POLICY
  • POLICYTOALARMACTION
  • POLICYTOEMAILACTION
  • POLICYTORULE
  • RULE
  • RULEBLOB
  • RULETODEFINITION
  • RULETOCOMMANDSETACTION
  • DEFINITION
  • EVALUATION
  • COMMANDSETACTION
  • EMAILACTION
  • ALARMACTION
  • GLOBALPARAMETER
  • EXTRACTION
  • PARAMETER-GROUP
  • PARAMETERGROUPVALUE

Output

The dbImport utility imports the data sets to the database tables as specified.

Security on imports

The imported tables are automatically created in the realm listing under the Realm Access Control Tab in Compliance Security Administration. By default, there is no realm security. Users do not have the ability to view realms. To enable view access and execution of the imported policies within the realms, security permissions must be applied. For further information on applying security in Realm Management, see the ITNCM User Guide.
