Question & Answer
Question
When Exporting and Importing definitions, I get returned a message that the definitions were imported successfully.
The Definitions import succeeded. Some of the items in the import file already existed and were not imported.
However already existing definitions at the time of the import have not been overwritten and therefore have stayed the same and changes made to these definitions have not been imported.
The problem being that the definitions that already existed are not changed.
Answer
This behaviour that you encountered is how the Export/Import of definitions was designed to work. Part of the logic of the import process is to handle definitions with duplicate names by not overwriting the original definition. Therefore avoiding accidentally overwriting the wrong definition and potentially causing a serious impact within the Guardium Appliance.
