Accessing Additional Compliance Content
VMware provides several additional VCM Compliance Content Packages relative to the different
components you have just activated. These packages are not available in the Portal until you download
and import them. It is important to check to see if any of the VCM Compliance Content Packages are
important to your organization, and then import them at this time.
Before you begin using this content, you must complete the following required steps:
1. Locate the Content Directory.
2. Launch VMware Compliance Content Wizard (CCW) to Import Relevant Content.
3. Explore Imported Content Results in the Portal.
Locating the Content Directory
To access the Content Packages that were supplied during your VCM content download, navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Configuresoft\ECMImportExport\Content\ .
Launching the Content Wizard to Import Relevant Content
If you are loading content into VCM for the first time, refer to Section 15.4: VCM Import/Export and
VMware Content Wizard for information on how to launch VMware Content Wizard. Once you have
performed this initial load, you can maintain your content with VMware VCM Import/Export.
