Is there a way to identify how a policy object was created or last updated from the policy export file?
Siteminder Release: 12.8.x
This KB article illustrates the details logged in the policy export file and highlights the approach which the policy object was created or last updated.
· Object Class – Policy object type
· Xid – ID associated with the policy object
· CreatedDateTime – Policy object creation date and time
· ModifiedDateTime – Policy object last modification date and time
· UpdatedBy – Siteminder administrator/ Siteminder feature that created/ last updated the policy object
· UpdateMethod – Defines the approach used to update the policy object
· ExportType – Defines the import mode - Add, Replace, Overlay or Default options
For granular exports, the export type is specified explicitly on the command line or is retrieved from the data dictionary. For dump exports, the export type attribute for all objects is Replace. A load import of the policy data overwrites all of the policy data in the policy store.
