Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - POLICY MANAGEMENT REFERENCE 10.3 30-03-2010 Management Manual page 38

NOTE: If the exported XML file contains extended ASCII characters, you must open it in an editor
by using UTF-8 encoding instead of ANSI coding, because ANSI coding displays the extended
ASCII characters as garbled.
When you create a policy from the XML file, zman uses the information specified in the
<Description>
of the file. The values for the Name and Parent folder are taken from the command line. For the
remaining elements, the default value is used.
Follow the guidelines listed below to work with the XML file:
If you want to create a policy without file content, you need only the policy XML file to create
the policy.
For example, a Local File Rights Policy does not have file content associated with it.
If you want to create a policy with content, you must provide an additional XML file, which
contains the path of the content file, as an argument to the
policy-create
For example, a Printer policy can have the printer drivers to be installed as associated file
content.
A sample XML format template,

new data is correct and that it conforms to the schema. The zman utility does a minimal
validation of the data and does not check for the errors. Hence, the policy might be successfully
created, but with invalid data. Such a policy fails when deployed on a managed device.
File content is associated with a particular action in an Action Set. The Action Content
Information XML file should contain the path of the file to which the file content is to be
associated and the index of the action in the Action Set.
For example, the Printer driver selected to be installed when creating a Printer policy is
associated to the printerpolicy action in the Enforcement action set of the created Printer policy.
The Action Set is specified by the type attribute in
same as the Action Set type of the policy XML file.
