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.
Method | Pro's | Con's |
---|---|---|
UAC RESTful API |
|
|
Write to file XML |
| 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.)
Output Directories
The conversion program can write to file:
- In one directory.
- To multiple typed directories.
See Global Options for selecting this checkboxexport 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.
