Valid in the AC environment
The start dbexport command exports the 
Privileged Access Manager
database of the host you are connected to, and copies the output to a buffer. If you are connected to a PMDB, you can also use this command to export the PMD database.
Use the get dbexport command to view the output.
This command has the following format:
start dbexport [pmdname(name)] [filter("CLASS, CLASS...")] [param("depend=yes")] [param("edit=yes")]
  • filter("
    CLASS
    ,
    CLASS
    ...")
    (Optional) Defines the classes to export from the database. If you do not specify a class, all rules in the database are exported.
  • param("depend=yes")
    (Optional) Specifies to export dependent classes along with the class that you specify in the filter parameter. When you specify this parameter, 
    Privileged Access Manager
    exports the specified class and the following dependent classes:
If you export rules that modify resources in a particular class, and the class has a corresponding resource group, 
Privileged Access Manager
also exports the rules that modify resources in that resource group.
If you export rules that modify resources in a particular resource group, 
Privileged Access Manager
also exports the rules that modify the member resource of the resource group.
If you export rules that modify resources in a particular class and that class has a PACL, 
Privileged Access Manager
also exports the rules that modify resources in the PROGRAM class.
If you export rules that modify resources in a particular class and that class has a CALACL, 
Privileged Access Manager
also exports the rules that modify resources in the CALENDAR class.
If you export rules that modify resources in a particular class, and one of the resources in that class is a member of a CONTAINER resource group, 
Privileged Access Manager
exports the rules that modify resources in the CONTAINER class and the rules that modify the resources that are members of each CONTAINER resource group.
  • param("edit=yes")
    (Optional) Specifies that 
    Privileged Access Manager
    changes each rule that creates a new resource or accessor to a rule that modifies the resource or accessor.
    Example:
    If you specify this parameter 
    Privileged Access Manager
    changes all newres rules to editres rules.
  • pmdname(
    name
    )
    (Optional) Defines the name of the PMD database to export.
Example: Initiate Database Export
The following example initiates the export of rules that modify FILE and GFILE class resources. The rules are exported from seosdb, the 
Privileged Access Manager
database on the host you are connected to.
start dbexport filter("FILE, GFILE")
Example: Initiate Database Export with Dependent Classes
The following example initiates the export of rules that modify FILE class resources and any classes that are dependent on FILE class resources, and changes each rule that creates a new resource or accessor to a rule that modifies the resource or accessor:
start dbexport filter("FILE") param("depend=yes edit=yes")
