You can export your WCC and Autosys policies from one environment and then import them into a different environment. By completing your export, you have created a backup copy of your EEM policies for disaster recovery.
NOTE:If your EEM instances are in failover/multi-write, you only need to export the policies from ONE instance.
Environment
Release: All Supported Versions
Component: CA Embedded Entitlements Manager

A. CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR WCC POLICIES/COMPLETE POLICY EXPORT
