Unpack the PolicyCenter configuration files

Procedure

  1. If you have not already done so, create an installation directory for PolicyCenter.

    Do not use spaces in the installation directory path. Studio does not run from a directory with a space in its name.

  2. Extract the contents of the PolicyCenter Zip file into the installation directory.

    Using a third-party tool such as 7-Zip may perform better than using the built-in Windows decompression utility.

  3. Do one of the following:
    • If using a change control system such as Perforce or SVN to manage PolicyCenter configuration files, add the files in the PolicyCenter modules/configuration directory to change control at this point.
    • If not using a version control system, make a read-only copy of the PolicyCenter directory. The use of back-up copy enables you to recover quickly from accidental changes that can prevent PolicyCenter from starting.

Results

At this point, you have a full set of PolicyCenter configuration files.
