Export Definitions
Use this option to export the entire set of AOD definitions from one computer to another. Use this option when you initially set up your system or if you add a computer to your organization. You can either send the definitions to target computers where they will be updated automatically, or you can save the definitions and use the Import Definitions to import the definitions to the target computer at a late date.
To export individual rules, see Exporting Authority Rules for details.

*UPD = Definitions that only exist on the source system are added to the target system, for definitions that exist on both systems on both systems the target system definition is replaced with the source system definition, and definitions that only exist on the target system are not changed *REPLACE the complete set of definitions on the source system replaces the complete set of definitions on the target system. At the end of the process, both systems will have an identical set of definitions. |
