Deployment Guide › Event Import › Running an Event Import Operation

Running an Event Import Operation

For individual import operations, importing messages or files in batch mode, you run the Event Import utility, wgnimp.exe, from a command line.

To set up continuous import operations, you run the Event Import service (wgnimpsv.exe). If you run a continuous import operation using wgnimpsv.exe, note that wgnimp.exe remains available for concurrent individual import operations.

• Import parameters: You configure import operations with command line parameters or parameters in a configuration file.

  Event Import supports a wide range of parameters for configuring the import operation. For example, you can specify input queue thresholds to prevent performance bottlenecks. You can specify these parameters in a command line or, more commonly, in a configuration file

• Logon requirements: You must also ensure that the account you use to logon to the CMS has appropriate administrative privileges. Finally, some types of import operation, particularly when importing from Microsoft Exchange mailboxes, have specific logon requirements.
