NMDBMERGE Command

The NMDBMERGE command merges a previously exported copy of a database into the current Notification Manager database. Names (entity name, method name, time block name, and so on) are used to check for duplicate data. If a duplicate is found, the original data is replaced with the imported data. Otherwise, a new entry is created in the database. The NMDBMERGE command merges existing data with imported data.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS VOX "NMDBMERGE PATH(path)"

PATH

Specifies the name of the path from which the exported database is retrieved.

Return Information:

After the NMDBMERGE command executes, it sets the special REXX return code variable RC.

• If the command executes successfully, the RC variable contains a value of zero.
• If the command does not execute successfully, the RC variable contains a non-zero value. Additionally, the VOX.ERROR variable contains the complete VOX error message, which includes the four-digit return code and complete error message text.

Usage Notes:

• Do not use the database when issuing the NMDBMERGE command. To guarantee that the database is not being used, shut down the CA-AP NM Gateway Server service before running the NMDBMERGE command.
• CA does not support importing a Notification Manager database that has been exported from a newer release of CA Automation Point into an older release of CA Automation Point.

Example:

The following example imports a copy of an exported database that resides in the G:\TEMP_EXP directory:

ADDRESS VOX "NMDBMERGE PATH(G:\TEMP_EXP)"
