Exporting Entities to XML using the GUI

Use the Export feature to export configured entities into an XML file format.

Note:
  • CheckPoint interfaces can be exported and imported.
  • CheckPoint firewalls and Check Point servers cannot be exported or imported.

Procedure

  1. Select Administration > Import/Export, and then select the Export tab.
  2. The Export tab is displayed.
  3. Select an entity from the Entities drop-down menu. The available options are:
    • Alerts
    • Users
    • Search Filters
    • Custom Reports
    • Devices
    • Suites
    • Alert Templates
  4. Select the Export Mode. This controls how exported entities are handled when imported on another appliance.
    • Insert — If the entity exists in the target appliance, the entity is rejected on import.
    • InsertOrUpdate — If the entity exists in the target appliance, the entity is updated on import; otherwise a new entity is inserted.
      Note: The InsertOrUpdate option does not work on devices with a Collector Domain ID. For these devices, only the description will be updated.
    • Delete — If the entity exists in the target appliance, the entity is deleted on import.
  5. Select an entity to export from the Available Entities section.

    The entities available for export appear in the text area in the Available Entities area.
