Cautions

The information in the input file being imported always takes effect. If information that has been previously registered is updated, the existing definitions will be replaced with the information in the input file.
If there is an error with the input file, registration of the definitions will be canceled. The following kind of error message will be output to the trace log.
```
The definition in line {0} is incorrect. (Cause: {1})
```
One of the following messages will be output for (Cause).
Number of elements.
Meaning: Review the number of elements in the line indicated.
Rpm-name required.
Meaning: Set the value of rpm-name in the line indicated.
Rpm-version required in case rpm-release is defined.
Meaning: Set the value of rpm-version in the line indicated.
If multiple definitions have been set up for a single RPM package name, the definition with the highest priority will take effect. Refer to "2.7 Linux Patch Management Target Configuration File" for information on the priority of definitions. If any definitions are disabled, the following kind of warning message will be output to the trace log.
```
The following definition has been disabled by a priority judgment.
#rpm name,rpm architecture,rpm version,rpm release
zlib,x86_64,1.2.3,3
zlib,x86_64,1.2.3,4
zlib,x86_64,,
```
The swcfmg_patch_exportrpmpolicy command and the swcfmg_patch_importrpmpolicy command cannot both be running at the same time. This means that an error will occur if the command is already executing.
Execute this command while Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager is running.
Behavior is not guaranteed if the character encoding specified for this command does not match the character encoding specified for the input file. These character encodings must match.
This command does not perform authorizations for RPM packages. This command only imports definitions for the RPM packages that are to be subject to Linux patch management. Authorizations are automatically performed when the infrastructure administrator registers RPM packages with the yum repository server.
