Situation

Where are Policies and Documents stored on the VigilEnt Policy Center server?

What directory are word documents stored in on the VPC server?

What directory are HTML documents stored in on the VPC server?

What directory are PDF files stored in on the VPC server?

How can I copy a VigilEnt Policy Center document from the Server to an alternate location?

How do I locate the actual created or imported policies or documents on the VPC server?

Resolution

The physical location of these files on the VigilEnt Policy Center server can be found in the following location:

<install drive>\Program Files\NetIQ\VigilEnt Policy Center\Server\Webapps\VpcAdmin\ImportDocs

Files that are created or imported in to VigilEnt Policy Center (VPC) are not searchable by the name that they are known as when viewing the policies from within the User or Administration site.  They are stored on the on the VigilEnt Policy Center with randomly generated names, such as "ran3443.doc".  To determine the random name generated by VPC for the policy you will need access to the SQL Database and need to cross reference the document by locating the actual name of the file in the Policy_Document table.  Compare the 'Title' to the 'Raw URL' which will contain the path and the actual policy name that was assigned by VPC.
