You can write policy files to apply to a specific export or import process, or to a set of export or import processes. Conditions that are set in the policy files can selectively apply actions that available in the user interface. The following actions are available in import: ignore, create new object, substitute object, and unlock and iterate. Policy files can apply the lock action in export. You set properties in mapping rules files by editing the files; you cannot use the xconfmanager utility for this purpose. If you do not set properties through a graphical user interface or in a mapping file, you add or edit properties with the xconfmanager utility.

For more information, see Using the xconfmanager Utility.
