rundimdata command line program

Process instance-independent dimension values in XML and CSV format are imported using the rundimdata command line program:

rundimdata -user <username> -password <password> [-client <name>]

-mode import

-file <file1>[,<file2>...]

[-format {XML|CSV} [-csvchar "<character>"]]

[-overwrite |-replace]

[-recoveryfile {yes|no}]

[-version]

[-language <ISO code>][ protocoloptions ]

-user <user name> Name of user

-password <password> User password

-client <name> Name of client If no client is specified,

the server of the default client will be used.

-language <ISO code> Import language

-mode import Import of data

-recoveryfile {yes|no} After import into the analysis server

the recovery files relevant for

process analysis are recreated.

-file <file1>[,<file2>...] Import files. ZIP files are supported.

-format {XML|CSV} Data format for the import (default: XML)

-csvchar "<character>" Data separator for "CSV" import format

(default: comma)

-overwrite Overwriting dimension descriptions

-replace Delete existing dimension values that

have been changed by a data import for dimensions

or were supplemented.

-encoding "<encodingname>" Encoding of the CSV file (default:

Default encoding for workstation)

-version Version number of the application and the

database schema

protocoloptions can consist of the following instructions:

-protocolfile <file name> Logging in the file <file name>

-information {yes|no|default} Logging of information

-warning {yes|no|default} Logging of warnings

-error {yes|no|default} Logging of errors

-version

The version of the PPM software and the database schema are output on the console. Other arguments are ignored.

-user <user name> -password <password>

With this parameter, you specify the user name and the password of the PPM user who is executing the import. The user must have the Data import function privilege.

-client <client name>

With this parameter, you specify the PPM client for which you want to save the imported dimension values. If you do not use this option the default client is used.

-mode import

With this parameter you specify that the source files are to be imported with process instance-independent data.

-file <file1>[,<file2>...]

With this parameter you specify the import file(s). The source files can be ZIP files containing one or more XML file(s) of the same data format.

-recoveryfile {yes|no}

With this parameter you specify if analysis server recovery files relevant for process analysis are to be created after import of process instance-independent dimension values. The default value is yes.

You can boost the performance of multiple sequential dimension data imports by suppressing the creation of the analysis server recovery files for all previous imports. To do so, specify the option -recoveryfile no. Only the last import creates the analysis server recovery files relevant for process analysis if the option is missing or if -recoveryfile yes was specified. Please make sure that the analysis server recovery files relevant for process analysis are created in any case once the import is complete. You can force the creation of all recovery files using the command line call runppmadmin with the option -recoveryfile force.

-format {XML|CSV}

With this parameter you specify the data format used.

-csvchar "<character>"

With this parameter you specify the separator for data field values in CSV import format (default value is the comma).

-overwrite

With this parameter you specify that existing descriptions of text dimension levels will be overwritten with changed (also empty) values. Text dimension keys (IDs) cannot be overwritten.

-replace

With this parameter, you can overwrite already imported dimension data. Dimensions not included in the import file are deleted. This parameter implies the parameter -overwrite. After the import, the analysis server recovery files relevant for process analysis are recreated. (default behavior)
