Overview
|
You can export Enterprise Gateway configuration data by right-clicking a Policy Studio tree node (for example,
policy or policy container), and selecting the relevant export menu option (for example, Export
Policy). The configuration is exported to an XML file, which you can then import into a different
Enterprise Gateway configuration. This is useful if you have configured the Enterprise Gateway in a testing environment
and wish to move this configuration to a live production environment. By exporting configuration data
from a test environment, and importing into a production environment, you can effectively migrate your
Enterprise Gateway configuration. This is the recommended way to export Enterprise Gateway configuration data, and
enables you to manage references between configuration components.
For details on importing configuration data, see Importing
Enterprise Gateway Configuration.

What is Exported
|
You can export a Enterprise Gateway configuration item by right-clicking a node in the Policy Studio tree.
For example, this includes the following Policy Studio tree nodes:
- Policies
- Policy Containers
- Schemas
- Alerts
- Caches
- Regular Expressions (White List)
- Attacks (Black List)
- Users
- Certificates
- Relative Paths
- Remote Hosts
- Database Connections
In addition, you can also export configuration items that are associated with the selected tree node.
For example, this includes referenced policies, MIME types, regular expressions, schemas, and remote
hosts. For details on exporting additional configuration items, see the next section.

Exporting Configuration Items
|
To export Enterprise Gateway configuration items, perform the following steps:
- Right-click a Policy Studio tree node (for example, policy or policy container), and
select the relevant menu option (for example, Export Policy).
- The first screen in the export wizard is a read-only screen that displays the
configuration items to be exported. The Exporting tree displays the
selected tree node (in this case, policy), which is exported by default. The
following configuration items will also be exported tree includes additional
referenced items that are also exported by default along with the policy (for example,
MIME types, regular expressions, and schemas).
- You can click Finish if this selection suits your requirements.
Otherwise, click Next to refine the selection.
- In the next screen, you can select optional configuration items for export. The
Additional configuration items that may be exported tree on the left
includes dependent items that are not exported by default. For example, these include
the following:
- Outbound references: configuration items directly referenced out from the
export set to other configuration stores (for example, Certificates, Users, or
External Connections).
- Inbound references: configuration items in other configuration stores
that directly reference items in the export set.
- Associated configuration directly related to the export set (for example,
Remote Hosts or Relative Paths).
- To add an item for export, select it in the Additional configuration that
may be exported tree on the left, and click Add.
- To remove an item for export, select it in the Additional configuration that
will be exported tree on the right, and click Remove.
Note:
The original set of items in the Additional configuration that will be
exported tree cannot be removed. Only items added from the Additional
configuration that may be exported tree can be removed.
- By default, items displayed in the Additional configuration that may be
exported tree are scoped to direct references to the export set (inbound,
outbound, and associated). You can select Display additional configuration
that depends on items to be exported to recursively add references to this
tree when additional configuration items are added to the export set.
- Click OK to export the selected configuration.
Referenced Policies
When exporting a policy or policy container, by default, any policies referenced by the policy are
included for export and displayed in the Additional configuration that will be exported
list.
