This section provides instructions for moving entire configurations from the following Assure Security licensed features from one system to another using commands in Assure Security:
- Assure Monitoring and Reporting
- Assure System Access Manager
- Assure Elevated Authority Manager
- Assure Multi-Factor Authentication
- Assure Db2 Data Monitor
Currently, Assure Encryption and Assure Secure File Transfer do not have commands for saving and restoring entire configurations from one system to another.
The commands to save configurations make use of save files. If the save file specified in the command does not already exist, it will be created when the REPLACE parameter is set to REPLACE(*YES). An existing save file will not be overwritten or cleared unless this is specified in the command.
The commands described in this section will move all configurations of the feature to the other system. The commands can be adjusted to save or restore only specific components of Assure Security configurations. Many parameters of the restore commands allow you to use *ADD to add only new configurations, *REPLACE to replace the existing configurations with the configurations saved in the save file, or *UPDADD to update existing configurations and add configurations that did not previously exist on the target system.
Note that configurations in the Assure Security features may be using condition lists. When condition lists are specified in a configuration, the SAV and RST commands should see the condition list in the configuration and save or restore those condition lists. If a condition list is not specified in the configuration, such as when a condition list is specified within another condition list, the commands will not save or restore it. For example, for Assure Policy Compare (APC), the required condition lists will not be saved or restored using the SAVQJCFG and RSTQJCFG commands because one condition list specifies other condition lists that contain the policies to be reported on. In such cases, the condition lists should be saved and restored using the SAVQJLCN and RSTQJLCN commands:
-
SAVQJLCN LIST(*ALL) SAVF(LIBRARY/SAVEFILE) -
RSTQJLCN LIST(*ALL) SAVF(LIBRARY/SAVEFILE) OPTION(*UPDADD)
You may wish to use these commands to save condition lists in all cases when working with Assure Security features to guarantee that you save and restore all needed condition lists.
