You can export Policy Objects to an XML file using Active Roles Console, then import the exported Policy Objects to another instance of Active Roles. The export and import operations provide a way to move Policy Objects from a test environment to a production environment.
NOTE: When you export and import Policy Objects, Active Roles only transfers the configured list of policies. The Policy Object links are not included in the export-import operation. You must reconfigure them manually after completing the transfer.
To export and import a Policy Object
-
In the Console tree, navigate to Configuration > Policies > Administration.
-
Select the folder that contains the Policy Object that you want to export.
-
In the details pane, right-click the Policy Object, then click All Tasks > Export.
-
In the Export Objects dialog, navigate to the folder where you want to save the file, and click Save.
-
In the destination Active Roles Console instance, under the Console tree, right-click the directory object where you want to import the Policy Object, then click Import.

In the Import Directory Objects dialog, select the file where you exported Policy Object, then click Open.
