Export Archive File Security Dialog

Use the Export Archive File Security dialog to export security information for a secured Archive File into a Security File.

The Security File maintains the security for the Archive File. To open the Export Archive File Security dialog, right-click an Archive File in the grid on the Archive Directory Maintenance dialog and, in the shortcut menu, click Export Security Information > Primary File (for primary files) or Export Security Information > Secondary File (for duplicate files).

When you use the Archive Registration Utility to register a secured Archive File, the Security File is selected instead of the Archive File. The Security File includes a password needed to register the Archive File and contains information needed to create the associated FAD in the new Directory. If the FAD already exists, you are given the option to overwrite it or to associate the Archive File with the existing FAD.

Note: Only users with permission to update the File Access Definition can export the security information.
