   Report files are stored in the specified location. For more information about the report, see Navigating-the-exported-compliance-report.

Exporting compliance results to ARF or ASR

You can export the results of a Compliance Job to Asset Reporting Format (ARF) version 0.41 or Assessment Summary Results (ASR) version 0.41.

Before you begin

Before exporting the results of a Compliance Job to ARF or ASR formats, you must enable the following TrueSight Server Automation Application Server Administration console (the blasadmin utility) settings (the settings are disabled by default).

• To view the default value of the blasadmin utility property, execute the following command:show Appserver EnableARFAndASRExecution
• To enable the blasadmin utility property, execute the following command:set Appserver EnableARFAndASRExecution true

To export compliance results to ARF or ASR

1. To access the results of a Compliance Job, in the Jobs folder, right-click a Compliance Job, and select Show Results. 
2. From the results tree displayed in the left pane, expand the job run instance of interest.
3. Right-click one of the views, servers, components, or rules, and select Export ARF/ASR Results.
   The Export Results dialog box is displayed.
4. For Object Name, provide a file name and location where you want to store the exported results.
5. For Object Type, select one of the following file formats:
   
   • ARF 0.41 — Saves results in ARF version 0.41 format.
     If multiple target servers are associated with the job, then, by default, a separate file is exported for each server, and the file name that you enter here (in step 4 above) is appended with the name of each specific server (that is fileName_serverName). If you prefer to export the results from all servers in a single file, click Options and then clear the Split Files check box.
   • ASR 0.41 — Saves results in ASR version 0.41 format.
     The Options button is always enabled. By default, the ruleID parameter in the ASR report is mapped to Reference Number. You can map the ruleID parameter to AUTO_GENERATE, NAME, DESCRIPTION, or NOTES. If you select AUTO_GENERATE, the ruleID value assumes the following format: <<Component Template Name>>/<<Group Name>>/<<Rule Name>>.
6. From File encoding, select the type of character encoding for the exported data, such as UTF8 or UTF16.
7. On the Export Results dialog box, click Save.
