Issue/Introduction

How to enable the " EnableAuditingResponseTime " parameter and take the configuration export using the XPSExport command to move the same configuration to different servers.

Environment

Component: CA siteminder Policy Server (SMPLC)
Release: 12.9 and 12.8.xx.xx (Applicable to all the supported releases)

Resolution

Please note that we would need to enable this "EnableAuditingResponseTime" parameter first using the " XPSConfig " utility.

- Please check the below document steps to enable the " EnableAuditingResponseTime " XPS parameter using " XPSConfig " utility.

- Document reference:

Log Transaction Response Time of Access Events in Audit Logs

------ NOTE:

Please note that this "EnableAuditingResponseTime" parameter is " GLOBAL SCOPE " Configuration so when we set it to TRUE or Enable it, we don't this in the " xps.cfg " file which is located under \siteminderhomelocationXXXX\CA\siteminder\config file.

We only see the LOCAL SCOPE configurations in the " xps.cfg " file.

- Snippet for reference:

Once you enable or set it TRUE, please take the Policy Store Export using " XPSExport " command so that you will be able to see it in the policy store ".xml " file.

Please note that we suggest you use the " -xc " switch and take the configuration data export using the below command.

------ For example:

XPSExport filename.xml -xc -vT -npass

------
-xc
(Optional) Exports configuration data accessible using XPSConfig. To back up other configuration parameters that are set only in the registry, make a copy of the registry file on Unix systems or create a registry export file on Windows systems.
------

------

Then Import the exported ".XML" file into a different environment using the below command.

------ For example:

XPSImport filename.xml -c -npass -vT

------
-c
(Optional) Imports Policy Server configuration parameters (for example, database connectivity, credentials details, and so on). (XPSImport does not import Policy Server configuration data by default in this release.)
