Importing from the command line

Command line imports must be performed from the CONNXCDD32.EXE Data Dictionary Utility install location.  The default location is C:\CONNX32\UTILS.

 

To import COBOL copybooks from the command line, the syntax is as follows:

connxcdd32.exe <cdd path> <server name> <server userID> <server pwd> [<ssl | nossl>] import <import type> <import specification (copybook location) > <physical path of ISAM file> <SQL table name>

Example for Microfocus command line import without SSL:

connxcdd32.exe c:\cdd\importtest.cdd aixserver user password nossl import MFFD /user/fd/CUSTOMER.CPY /test1/customer.dat CUST01
 

Example for Dataflex command line import without SSL:

connxcdd32.exe c:\cdd\testcommandlineimport.cdd localhost user password nossl import DATAFLEX c:\connx32\utils NA

 

To import Adabas files from the command line, the syntax is as follows:

connxcdd32.exe <cdd path> <server name> <server userID> <server pwd> [<ssl | nossl>] import <import type> <database number> <input file>

Example for Adabas SYSOBJC command line import using an SSL connection:

connxcdd32.exe c:\cdd\importtest.cdd localhost myuser mypassword ssl import ADAOBJ 1 e:\workarea\EMPLOYEES_VEHICLES_FNR011_12.systrans

 

Note: if neither ssl nor nossl is specified, the import will default to nossl.
