The conversion program can load the UAC database either of two ways:
- Using the UAC RESTful API.
- Writing to file XML.
Both methods have their pro's and con's, but the API is recommended. Use it especially when you are doing a phased transition instead of a big-bang.

UAC RESTful API

- Easy loading.
- Does not overwrite existing objects.
...
- No Script and Credential support *
...
Write to file XML
...
- Supports all object types.
- Overwrites existing objects.
...
Manual load step.
* Credentials and Scripts are written to disk in a directory called //InputFileDirectory/@Stonebranch_Converted_XML/
(InputFileDirectory represents the directory where your input file resides.)
export its results in a number of ways:
- All objects (XML, Templates and Reports)
- A selection of objects using wild-cards
When exporting to XML, there are three possibilities:
| Format | Output | File Structure | Intended For |
|---|---|---|---|
| LIST | 1 directory | 1 file per object | Phased conversion |
| LIST | 1 directory per object type | 1 file per object | Phased conversion |
| BULK | 1 directory | 1 file per object-type | Initial load of the database |
Additionally, you can print only the reports, or print the content of all the scripts that were generated during the conversion.
Import Generated XML
The following example describes the loading of a credential, but the same procedure is valid for every UAC object type.
