Export Security Definitions Dialog

When you open the Export Security Definitions dialog, the tree hierarchy on the Definitions pane is populated with the security definitions in the Optim™ Directory to which you have read access.

Notes:
  • ACLs that secure ACDs and FADs are not listed but will be exported with these definitions.
  • The (Default) ACD is not listed and cannot be exported.
Export Security Definitions dialog

You can select the check box for a security definition type in order to export all definitions of that type or expand the list and select the definitions to be exported. Tools menu commands allow you to select or deselect all definitions.

Secured Output File

The name of the Secured Output File. The Secured Output File is a text file and is given a .txt extension automatically, but other extensions may be used. The Secured Output File is used as the Secured Input File for Security Definition Import processing.

Password

Password for securing the Secured Output File. This password must be entered when using the file with the Security Definition Import Process.

Verify Password

Enter the Password again for verification.

Tools Menu

The following commands are available from the Tools menu.

Select All Definitions
Select check boxes for all listed security definitions. This command is especially useful when you want to export all or most definitions.
Deselect All Definitions
Clear the check boxes for all listed security definitions, including shaded and/or selected check boxes.
Show Process Log
Display the Security Export Process Log generated by the last execution of Security Definition Export.

Run Export

To export security definitions, choose the File > Run menu option.

Note: The Run command will not be available until you have specified security definitions for export, a Secured Output File, and a password.

During Security Definition Export processing, the Export Progress pane displays the number of security definitions of each type that are exported and the number of errors encountered.

The status bar displays information about the current security definition that is processed. When Security Definition Export processing is finished, the status bar displays the message “Ready.”

Export Errors

If errors occur during Security Definition Export processing (for example, a dropped definition is selected for export), an error message is displayed. Definitions for which processing errors occur are also represented visually by a red “X”. Errors and diagnostic information are written to the Security Export Process Log.

Security Export Process Log

When the Security Definition Export is complete, select the Tools > Show Process Log menu option to display the Security Export Process Log.

Security Export Process Log

This log displays the following details:

Creation Date
Date and time the Security Export Process Log was created.
List of errors
Explanatory text for each error if errors were encountered.
List of exported objects
Names of the exported security definitions, grouped by object type.

Print

Print the log by choosing the File > Print menu option. Each execution of Security Definition Export clears the log file before information for the current execution is written. Previous log information is not retained.
