Event Import Operations

The CA DataMinder Event Import utility is a command line utility for importing e‑mails or files into the CMS. It is also the second CA DataMinder component (after the External Agent API) in the process of extracting archived emails and importing them into a CMS.

Note: To optimize data storage when importing from an email archive, the actual message data is not saved on the CMS. Instead, a record in the CMS database for each imported email references the associated entry in the email archive.

• Import parameters

  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.

• Running import operations

  Event Import can be run in batch mode from a command line, using the wgnimp.exe utility. Or you can set up continuous import operations, using the Event Import service, wgnimpsv.exe.
