public Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Dmf.Policy ImportPolicy (System.Xml.XmlReader xmlReader, Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Dmf.ImportPolicyEnabledState importEnabledState, bool overwriteExistingPolicy, bool overwriteExistingCondition);member this.ImportPolicy : System.Xml.XmlReader * Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Dmf.ImportPolicyEnabledState * bool * bool -> Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Dmf.PolicyPublic Function ImportPolicy (xmlReader As XmlReader, importEnabledState As ImportPolicyEnabledState, overwriteExistingPolicy As Boolean, overwriteExistingCondition As Boolean) As PolicyParameters
- xmlReader
- XmlReader
The XML reader to import from.
- importEnabledState
- ImportPolicyEnabledState
The Policy.Enabled flag will be set based on this enum value. The exception is if the policy's execution mode is Check on Schedule but there is no schedule information associated with the policy, in which case the policy is automatically disabled and its execution mode is reset to None.
- overwriteExistingPolicy
- Boolean
If true, then if a Policy of the same name already exists in the Store then it will be overwritten.
- overwriteExistingCondition
- Boolean
If true, then if any Condition associated with the Policy, either directly or through a TargetSet, already exists in the Store then it will be overwritten. Otherwise the existing condition will remain unchanged and the imported policy will use the pre-existing condition rather than the version in the XmlReader.
Returns
The Policy object imported. If the XML reader fails to validate properly or is missing it will throw an exception.
