Export CS:Govern Rules to Another Database

CS:Govern supports migrating protection and user access rules from one CopyStorm instance to another via its export and import subsystems.

To export the current CS:Govern protection rules use the application menu bar File => Export Protection Rules operation.

• A file of configuration rules will created (.csGovernRules extension).

The exported rule file is an XML file that can be viewed (and edited if required).  It will look like:

Importing previously export CS:Govern protection rules into a CopyStorm database is a three step process:

1. Use the File => Import Protection Rules into CS:Govern.
2. Verify the list of rules imported from a dialog CS:Govern displays.
3. Deploy the updated rules using the Save & Protect button.
