Export Rule Groups

An export utility is provided to export Rule Groups from one CA Configuration Automation implementation so it can be imported into another. The export utility extracts the Rule Groups, compresses, and saves the Rule Groups data to a .jar file.

To export Rule Groups

1. Click the Management link, then click the Compliance tab.

   The Compliance tab page appears.

2. Click the Rule Groups link (below the main tabs)

   The Rule Groups page appears and lists all existing groups in the Rule Groups table.

3. Click the check box next to one or more Rule Groups that you want to export, then select Rule Groups from the Select Actions drop-down list.

   A File Download window prompts you for the location where you want to save the export .jar file.

   The file is assigned a default name using the following timestamp convention:

   ExportDatabaseObject_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.jar

   Where YYYY is the year, the first MM is the month, DD is the day, HH is the hour (using a 24-hour clock), the second MM is the minutes, and SS is the seconds. For example:

   ExportDatabaseObject_2010_01_06_13_59_57.jar

4. Click Save, specify the location, and then click OK.

   Note:  If you are using a Windows operating system, Windows may suggest saving the file as a .zip file. Ensure the .jar is included in the file name, and the Save As Type field is set to All Files.

   The Rule Group .jar is saved in the specified location.
