Importing and Exporting Access Profiles
Overview: Importing and exporting access profiles
You can export or import an access profile for the purpose of backing up and restoring a
profile or for copying it from one Access Policy Manager (APM®) system to another. An access profile is exported to a compressed tar
file. Import is supported on a system with the same version of APM that created the export
file.
