PingAuthorize supports two import and export file formats for Trust Framework and policy data.
The following table describes the snapshot and deployment package formats.
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
|
Snapshot |
Contains all Trust Framework and policy data for a policy branch in the Policy Editor. A snapshot is used to load data into the Policy Editor for development when using external PDP mode. |
|
Deployment package |
An optimized data format that contains all policies under a specified root policy node and all Trust Framework entities used by those policies. A deployment package is used to load data into the PingAuthorize Server when using embedded PDP mode. |
The following sections describe how to import and export these files from the Policy Editor.
