The Import and Export Rules function is for the operator to import and export all mediation rules associated with a template. Rules associated with a template can be imported or exported from the corresponding template screen in the Rule Sets menu. Exported Rule Sets are packaged in .xml format rules are validated rule by rule during the import process.
The rules import process will automatically match up conditions based on condition names and matches actions based on action type. If the target template differs from the source template in the number of conditions or types of conditions, the operator may have to manually edit the exported .xml file to include the values for the newly added condition. If the exported .xml file does not values for the newly added condition, the default values populated for the condition in the template are used during the import.
Similarly, the rules import process will also be able to match on the Actions based on "Action types" but deleting an action or modifying an action in the target template may require the operator to manually edit the exported xml file before the rules can be imported. If new actions are added in the target template, the default values associated with those actions in the template are used.
The operator will be able to specify on a per Rule Set basis, if the import process should be continued or abandoned when DSR encounters an error with a specific rule during the import process.
