Rule Import: The Manage Synchronization table

Clicking Review or Complete Import in the Import/Export Status screen opens either the Review Import or the Complete Import screen for that rule import operation. These two screens are identical in layout. At the bottom of the screen is Manage Synchronization table that provides summary information about each rule in the rule import operation.

If you undertake an action to resolve a rule import conflict, you must save and apply your change. See Resolve rule import conflicts for details.

The following list describes the various columns in the table.

Column

Description

Rule Name

Name of the rule. PolicyCenter adds a warning next to the rule name if the importing rule name duplicates the name of a differently configured rule on the importing server.

Status

Current status of the rule. Some examples are:

  • New Rule – This rule does not exist on the importing server.
  • New Rule Version – This version of the rule does not exist on the importing server.
  • No Change – The existing rule is a more updated version of the importing rule.
  • Rule Deployment – The existing version of the rule needs deployment to match the rule version of the importing rule.
  • Versions conflict – There are conflicts between the existing and importing versions of the rule that you must manage manually.

Depending on the rule status, it is possible for the list of possible actions in the Available Actions column to change.

Available Actions

If there is no import conflicts with the given rule, there are no actions available in this column.

If there is a conflict between the importing and existing rule versions, the following actions are available:

  • Existing Version – Keep the existing rule on the importing server and discard the imported rule.
  • Importing Version – Keep the importing rule version and discard the existing rule version on the importing server.
  • Compare – Click to open the Compare Rules screen. Use this screen to compare the two rules side-by-side to view their similarities and differences and determine the course of action to take.

Existing Version

The version of the rule that exists in the importing server. Click to access a read-only view of the rule.

Importing Version

The version of the rule in the import file. Click to access a read-only view of the rule.

In this table, there is an additional column with no heading just to the left of the Rule Name column. An icon (with a gear) in this column indicates that the PolicyCenter business rules editor does not manage this rule. As the rule is external to the editor, it is not possible to edit the rule in most respects.
