  • Export the OSCAL Assessment Results (AR) file for an authorization package from the CAM Workspace.

    Before you begin

    • The authorization package must be in the Assess, Authorize, or Monitor step.
    • At least one control test in the engagement must have a closed state. Accepted closed states are:
      • Closed Complete
      • Closed Incomplete
      • Closed Skipped
    Roles required:
    • Information System Security Manager (sn_irm_cont_auth.info_system_sec_manager)
    • Information System Security Officer (sn_irm_cont_auth.info_system_sec_officer)
    • CAM Administrator (sn_irm_cont_auth.admin)

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > CAM Workspace.
    2. In the CAM Workspace, select the List icon.
    3. Select Authorization packages from the RMF list.
    4. Select the authorization package record in the Assess, Authorize, or Monitor step for which you want to generate an AR file.
    5. Select Generate OSCAL.

      A banner appears with the message: The files are being generated. Refresh the page after some time, then select Download OSCAL Files to download the OSCAL files.

      The system starts generating OSCAL files asynchronously. This process takes a few minutes depending on package complexity. The Download OSCAL Files button appears when the process is complete.

      A single AR JSON file is generated for each engagement linked to the authorization package. If the package has multiple engagements, multiple AR files are generated.

      Warning:
      Each time you run a generate operation, any previously generated OSCAL files for the package are deleted and replaced.
    6. After the files are generated, select Download OSCAL Files.

      The Download OSCAL Files button appears only after file generation completes. If generation is in progress, the button is unavailable.
      Note:
      Confirm that the pop-up blocker is turned off for the URL so that the ZIP file downloads automatically to your local machine.

      A ZIP file is downloaded containing the following OSCAL files:

      • Catalog JSON file
      • Profile JSON file
      • SSP JSON file
      • Overlay Catalog JSON file (if overlays are configured. Also includes overlays from associated control tailoring requests)
      • Assessment Plan (AP) JSON file (one per engagement)
      • Assessment Results (AR) JSON file (one per engagement)
      • POA&M JSON file (included if POA&M items exist)

    What to do next

    Validate these files using the OSCAL CLI validator and import them into other systems or share them with external auditors for assessment planning.
