import method—Import MDB Objects

The import method imports MDB Objects into a target MDB. It creates new objects and updates existing objects in the target MDB. For each of the supported MDB Object types, the object name is used as the unique reference to identify whether the object is new or existing.

Note: If you do not find the imported objects in the DSM Explorer, restart CAF.

This command has the following format:

mdbac.bat -import -file file_or_folder_name -target Connection_Name {-user User_Name -pwd Password | -wallet wallet_file_name}

Note: While you can use the ca_itrm user credentials to import data into SQL Server MDB, you need the credentials of the mdbadmin user to import data into Oracle MDB.

File_or_Folder_Name

Specifies the name of the file or folder that contains the exported data.

Note: You can use the import method to import multiple files at one time. However, avoid storing several files of the same MDB object type and object name in one folder because the sequence of processing these files and the result of the import method cannot be determined.

Example: Import MDB Objects

This example command imports MDB objects from the work folder to the target MDB:

mdbac.bat -import -file C:\TEMP\work -target mssql -user ca_itrm -pwd password123
