2. Perform the following action to export a policy:

   1. Click the export icon for the policy.

    The instance generates an update set.

1. To import a policy, install the update set as follows:

   1. On the instance to import to, navigate to System Update Sets > Retrieved Update Sets.

   2. Click the Import Update Set from XML related link.

   3. In the Import XML popup, click Choose File, select the file, and then click Upload.

   If a policy that you exported from the source environment exists in the target environment and both policies have the same sys_id, then the policy in the target environment is updated.

   Note: If the policy that you exported from the source environment exists in the target environment, and the policies have different sys_ids, then an error occurs during the import process. You must export a different policy from the source environment or delete the policy with the same name in the target environment.
