Example Import Configuration File

Each parameter begins on a new line. If a parameter value contains spaces, you do not need to enclose the parameter in double quotes. Below is a typical configuration file for a simple import operation from an EAS email archive.

Note that the parameters to define the CMS logon account are not included in this file (for security reasons). To add comments to a configuration file, use any of the following formats: #, // and REM. The full range of available parameters are shown in Event Import parameters.

This example specifies a continuous EVF import operation.

Parameters

Description

import.type=evf

Specifies an EVF file import operation.

Engine.StopOnError=No

Engine.LogLevel=3

Non-critical importing errors are ignored.

Full log details are written to the CA DataMinder system logfile.

# Specify continuous import

Adds a comment.

File.ContinuousInput=yes

File.pathspec=\\W2K-UPX01\EASCache

File.includesubdirs=No

Continuous importing is specified. This is essential when using the wgnimpsv.exe service.

The source folder is defined as \EASCache on machine W2K-UPX01.

The NBA does not write captured files to subfolders, so Event Import does not need to search subfolders.

// Specify email configuration

Adds a comment.

EMail.EventDateFromEMail=yes

Email.InternalAddrPattern=unipraxis

Capture dates are based on the dates in the e‑mails.

When detected in an email address, the term ‘unipraxis’ signifies an internal email.

REM Specify import filter

Adds a comment.

Email.SenderAddrIncludeFilter=unipraxis

Only emails sent by users whose email address contains ‘unipraxis’ are imported.
