How To Load Transactions into the CMDB

Instead of using XML input to create CIs and relationships, you can specify the following options to select the TWA as its input source:

–lftwa (load from TWA)

–lftwai (load from TWA and inactivate)

Note: Unlike other GRLoader modes that use an err.xml file, loading from the TWA returns error messages to the transaction Message field for viewing.

As transactions are processed, GRLoader sets the transaction status to indicate success or failure of each TWA transaction. If GRLoader -lftwa is run multiple times in succession, set the status of the transaction to Ready between runs of GRLoader, because it does not attempt to load data that is already loaded.

The transaction is executed from the TWA as if GRLoader were running using XML input. Transaction security is based on the user that performs the load from the TWA, not the user that loaded the TWA transaction originally.

Auditing occurs when the transactions are processed successfully.

Note: Before you perform the load, you can predetermine whether a set of transactions will create new CIs or relationships by using the simulation options (-simci and -simrel), see How to Simulate TWA Operations for more information.
