NMIMPORT Command

The NMIMPORT command imports an exported copy of a Notification Manager database.

Important: This command destroys all existing data in the database before importing new data.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS VOX "NMIMPORT PATH(path)"

PATH

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

Return Information:

After the NMIMPORT 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:

• It is important that the database is not being used when issuing the NMIMPORT command. To guarantee this, shut down the CA-AP NM Gateway Server service before running the NMIMPORT 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 "NMIMPORT PATH(G:\TEMP_EXP)"

Note: The NM Database Backup and Restore dialog in the Configuration Manager is used to import NM database files. The option Replace NM Database performs the same action as the NMIMPORT command.
