Data import

The procedure for initializing the PPM client, importing the ZIP files, and performing the PPM import is as follows:

  1. Open a DOS command prompt, switch to the directory <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\custom\ppm4mm_en\bat, and execute the file initdb.bat. The batch file initializes the database for the client.
  2. Start the xmlimport_all.bat file in the same directory. The batch file performs the XML import for the client.
  3. Then start the ppmimport.bat file in the same directory to perform the PPM import for the client.

Under <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\custom\ppm4mm_en\data\archive you will then find the imported ZIP files with the extracted data in PPM system event format.
