Use the runprocessimport command line program to start the process import. The process import enables prompt analysis of imported processes in PPM.
The program is stored in the directory <PPM installation directory>\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\ppm-client-run-prod-<version>-runnable.zip\ppm\bin.
Run the program with the following parameters in the command line. Parameters in brackets [] are optional.
runprocessimport -user <user name> -password <password>
(-datasource <file>) | (-datasourcelist <file>) | (-recoverimport)
[-client <name>]
[-language <ISO code>]
[-recoveryfile {yes|no}]
[-version]

Process import is another method of importing process-dependent data into PPM in addition to the standard XML import (runxmlimport) and PPM imports (runppmimport). Process import enables the import of almost all process-related data sources, except for data in the GRAPH format. You can import data in the formats EVENT, JDBC, CSV, SAP, and Universal Messaging. Process import includes most functions of the PPM import and XML import, e.g., event import, key generation, merge, as well as attribute, measure, and dimension calculation for process hierarchies, etc.
The following functions of the PPM import and XML import are not supported by process import.
The command line program starts with proprietary VM settings specified in the file _vmparam.bat. The file is stored under <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\config\<client>\bin. You configure the values using CTK.
Default values are:
Example
runprocessimport –client e2ppm –user system –password manager –datasource C:\SoftwareAG\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\custom\e2ppm\xml\datasource\datasource.xml
