Importing and Exporting Policies
Export policies for backup or
to import to another
Apex
Central server of the same version.
 |
Note
-
Apex
Central exports policy settings but not policy
targets.
-
A parent policy stays as a parent after the
export or import.
-
A child policy becomes a parent after the export.
Consequently, it is a parent after the import.
-
Apex
Central cannot import a policy if its name is the
same as an existing child policy. If the existing policy is not a child,
Apex
Central overwrites it after the import.

Click OK to
proceed.
The screen refreshes and displays the imported
policy at the top of the list.
