dpmkpdb Command--Import or Export Performance Data

dpmkpdb.exe is a command-line utility that lets you import and export your performance data. This utility lets you preserve performance data when upgrading CA Virtual Assurance to Release 12.8.1. To access dpmkpdb.exe, you must have administrator privileges. The dpmkpdb.exe command-line utility syntax accepts import, export, or export_ce keywords as the first argument.

This command has the following format:

dpmkpdb.exe {import | export | export_ce} 
-ws_user username -ws_password password    
-endpoint endpoint_URI 
[-locale iso639value] 
{-input input_file_name | -output output_file_name}

import

Imports the performance data from the input file.

export
