8.3.5. Saving SCAP Content
SCAP Workbench also allows you to save SCAP content that is used with your system evaluations. You can either save a customization file separately (see Section 8.3.4, “Customizing Security Profiles”) or you can save all security content at once by clicking the combo box and selecting either the
Save into a directory
or Save as RPM
options.
By selecting the
Save into a directory
option, SCAP Workbench saves both the XCCDF or data-stream file and the customization file to the specified location. This can be useful as a backup solution.
By selecting the
Save as RPM
option, you can instruct SCAP Workbench to create an RPM package containing the XCCDF or data stream file and customization file. This is useful for distributing the desired security content to systems that cannot be scanned remotely, or just for delivering the content for further processing.
