When you choose the Dump as XML (.xml file) option from the Audit Policies submenu, the Select Audit Policies for Dump dialog box appears, containing the names and descriptions of all audit policies.
After you select the policies you want to dump and click OK, the Dump Audit Policies as XML dialog box appears, and contains the following fields:
Output File — The name of the output file. The default is _audit-policies.xml.
Code Page — Indicates that the file will be dumped in the UTF-8 format. You cannot change the code page when dumping audit policies.
If the Data Dictionary encounters an error, it places an error file (_dmpsec.e) in the intended dump directory. If the dump directory does not exist, the Data Dictionary places _dmpsec.e in the session's current working directory.
Note: The connected user must have Audit Administrator permissions in order to access the Dump as XML option. For information about granting Audit Administrator permissions, see EditAudit Permissions option.
Output File — The name of the output file. The default is _audit-policies.xml.
