Run GRLoader from a Remote MDR

Use GRLoader to push data from a remote MDR to CA CMDB in one of the following ways:

• Copy the XML data from the remote system that runs the MDR to the system running CA CMDB, and then execute GRLoader on the CA CMDB system.
• Execute GRLoader on the remote MDR system itself.

Important! If you want to run GRLoader manually, see the CA CMDB r12.7 Technical Reference Guide.

To prepare to execute GRLoader from a remote system that does not have CA CMDB installed

1. Verify that the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6.0 or higher is installed and available.
2. Copy the contents of the %NX_ROOT%\java\lib directory from the CA CMDB system to a directory on the remote system where you want to run it. This remote directory is named %ROOT%.
3. Create a file named NX.ENV in the %ROOT% directory:
4. Open the file with a text editor and add the following line:

   @NX_LOG=path_that_contains_the_log_files 
   

5. Create the %ROOT%\site\cfg directory.
6. Create the %ROOT%\log directory.

To run GRLoader from the remote system, execute the following command:

java -Xmx512M -cp %ROOT% -jar %ROOT%/GRLoader.jar -N %ROOT% -u [userid] -s [server] -i [other GRLoader options]

where %ROOT% is the fully qualified path containing the files that were copied in Step 2.
