To import the exclusion list from 3rd-party AV solutions:

1. Download XMLParser.7z and extract it.
2. Get exported exception list from Symantec and rename it to main.xml (the tool only accepts this file name).
3. Double-click STXMLParser.exe or execute it through command line.
4. The following files will be created and used for importing.

   

5. Open Apex Central policy and import the CSV file to the exception list:
   • application.csv - Used in Behavior Monitoring exception

     

   • dir.csv - Used in Real-Time/Scan Now/Manual Scan settings

     

   • extension.csv - Used in Real-Time/Scan Now/Manual Scan settings

     

   • file.csv - Used in Real-Time/Scan Now/Manual Scan settings

     

6. The following are the limitations of this tool:
   • Does not support path prefix variable (such as %Program File%)
   • Only those with "ignore" action in the exception list can be converted
   • Cannot import Web Reputation white list
   • Always exclude the sub-folders of folder exception list
