You use the export utility to send a component or rule from one system to another. This utility is valuable for testing components and rules before you deploy them. The export utility is also available on the Mitigation tab and the Configuration tab

  • Navigate to   Rule Architect   Utilities   Export Rules  

    This selection allows you to export components, including rules:

    • Business Processes

    • Functions

    • Rules

    • Critical Profiles

    • Supplementary Rules

    • Rules Sets

    • Risks

    • Critical Roles

    • Organization Rules

    • Change Log

  • On the Mitigation tab,   Utilities   Export   allows you to export components, including rules components:

    • Administrators

    • Mitigation Controls

    • Mitigation Roles

    • Organizational User Mitigation

    • Business Units

    • Mitigated Users

    • HR Mitigation

    • Mitigated Profiles

  • On the Configuration tab, using   Utilities   Export  , you can export components, but not rules:

    • Configuration Data

    • MIC User Mappings

    • Logical Systems

    • Data Extraction

    • Custom User Groups

    • Connectors

    • MIC Risk Mappings

    • Cross Systems

    • User Mapping

The Configuration tab also includes a Purge Action Usage utility. Your administrator uses this utility to archive data from SoD Mitigation and User Access review.

Features

The Export utility generates one exported file each time you execute it.

The export file first identifies the source system of the exported records. A metadata record follows the source system and identifies the exported table and fields. Data records follow the metadata record. If you exported more than one type of data, the export files include additional sections with metadata and data records.

To export mitigated objects, you need reference data. The Export utility automatically selects related data types for export.

Example Example

For example, when you export Mitigated Users, the utility automatically selects and exports Administrators, Business Units, and Mitigating Controls.

End of the example.

Activities

To use this utility:

  1. Enter a source and a destination for each system that you want to export a rule or a component.

  2. Select the rules or capabilities you want to export.

    Choose Get Configuration.

    A confirmation dialog opens to confirm the export source and destination.

  3. Choose the Export Configuration link to export the rule or capability.

    A standard Windows dialog appears. Choose whether to open, or save, the rule or file.

When you export rules, the capability includes dependent tables even if you did not select these tables.

Example Example

You want to move User Mitigation. Since User Mitigation entries require a Control ID and Monitor, the system includes both tables in the exported data.

End of the example.

When you import files into another Access Control system, the system loads all tables that the export includes. These records overwrite all existing entries. If mitigation records exist in the target system, first export entries from that system and keep the data as a backup.

For more information, see the Access Control Configuration documentation.
