The LMSeosImport utility offers a variety of command line arguments that let you control which events are migrated. Each event in the SEOSDATA table is a row, and has a unique entry ID to identify it. You can use the import utility to retrieve a report that lists several different kinds of useful information. The report lists the number of events in the SEOSDATA table (as a number of entry IDs), event counts by log type, and the date ranges of the events. The utility offers a retry option in case an error occurs during the import of an event.
You can also run a preview job to see what the import results would be with a specific command structure. Preview jobs do not actually import data. This allows you to refine your command line options prior to the actual migration.
You can run the migration utility more than once using different parameters to import different kinds of data. For example, you may choose to migrate your data in several, tailored sessions based on a range of entry IDs, the log type, or specific date ranges.
Note: The utility does not offer import tracking of prior sessions. It is possible to duplicate data in your CA Enterprise Log Manager database if you run the command with the same parameters more than once.
For the best results, break up your import by log type (using the -log option) or by entry ID (using the -minid and -maxid options) to improve import performance. Use the -retry option to help recover from any errors that may occur during event import. The utility uses a default -retry value of 300 seconds to maximize import success.
