Issue/Introduction

 

The XPSExport switch -xe and -xp is currently unable to export the
federation objects in r12.52Sp1Cr5 policy server. Is there an
alternate way to export only the federation objects?

 

Resolution

 

Yes, you can use combination of XPSExplorer and XPSExport to export
federation objects only as below :

  1. Using XPSExplorer first search for all the XIDs of the
     "PartnershipBase*" objects.

  2. Copy all the XIDs to a text file say - fedxid.txt

  3. Then use following XPSExport command to export all Partnership
     Federation objects :

     XPSExport <outputexportfile.xml> -xf fedxid.txt -npass -vT

  4. By default the ExportType is "Add". If you want to override
     existing Federation Partnership, then manually change the
     ExportType to "Replace" before import.
