import-xml-db procedure
Imports an XML file containing audit polices
into a connected database specified by its logical name. If the
XML file contains policies that already exist in the database and
the ploverride parameter is set to NO, this
procedure does not update the database and returns a comma-separated
list of existing policies. The caller can then ask for confirmation
and call save-changes-to-db procedure. If ploverride is set to YES,
this procedure automatically overrides all existing policies and
does not return any duplicates in the pcDupList parameter.
Any errors set the perrorMsg parameter and cause
the import operation to be backed out.
Parameters:
- INPUT pcxmlFileName AS CHARACTER
- Filename of the XML file with audit policies to import.
- INPUT pcDbName AS CHARACTER
- Logical name of the target database to import the policies.
- INPUT plWait AS LOGICAL
