createSettingsDocument

Use the createSettingsDocument command to create a settings document for input to the createOrUpdatePolicy command.

A settings document is an XML file. The source of the settings document can be a policy template or an existing policy.

• If you specify a policy template, the command returns the default settings document for the policy template.

• If you specify a policy, the command returns a settings document with the settings for the current policy instance. You can edit the values in the settings document before submitting it to the createOrUpdatePolicy command.

To determine the type and subtype of a policy or policy template, select the appropriate object in the Navigator. The type and subtype for each policy or policy template is displayed in the summary pane.
