-mode <mode>
This is where you specify whether the configuration of the PPM component specified by the
<command> argument is saved in the specified file or whether the configuration saved in the specified file is imported into the PPM system. The valid values are export and import.
-<command> <file name>
Specify the PPM component whose configuration is to be saved to or imported from the specified file.
command |

---|---|
abcanalysis |
Configuration of ABC analysis |
attributenames |
Names of the PPM attributes. To export, use the -language <ISO code> argument to specify the relevant language for the PPM attribute names. If this argument is missing, the attribute names are exported in the default language of the PPM client (defaultlanguage XML element in the file Locales.xml). |

favorites |
Import or export of favorites. You can restrict the operation to a specific user's favorites with the favoriteuser parameter. If you enter -favoriteuser sharedfavorites, only all shared favorites are imported or exported. |

keyindicator |
Process instance-dependent and independent measures, as well as dimensions, attribute calculations, and relations |
keyrules |

locales |
PPM user interface languages |
merger |
Merge configuration |

orgunits |
Organizational units |
processtree [-add] |

ranking |
Configuration of ranking analysis |
realm |
Name of the analysis realm to be imported |
reportautomations |

serverproperties |
Export general server settings |
system |
System configuration. Is saved in XML files in the specified directory. (See chapter Export the system configuration.) |
targetvalues |
Planned value definitions |
topflop |
Top-flop dimensions |
transformationfactors |
Transformation factors |
users |
User privileges |
You can also specify every possible parameter value in the file InitSystem_settings.properties, so that the configuration will be active immediately when the PPM database is initialized. Make sure to take account of the dependency of different configurations on one another.
-overwrite
This switch enforces the replacement of existing configurations when a configuration is imported. It is only applicable for the following configuration components:
-targetvalues, -abcanalysis, -datatypes, -factorycalendar, -keyindicator,
-ranking, -onlineki, -favorites, -reportautomations
Warning
Replacing existing configurations by specifying the
-overwrite option can lead to unwanted effects, for example if you change the definition of data types already in use.
-replace
This switch deletes an existing configuration before the start of the import. It can only be used for the following configuration components: -targetvalues, -abcanalysis, -ranking -favorites, -reportautomations
Example
The configuration of the user-defined measures of the PPM client umg_en is to be saved in the XML file OnlineKI.xml on C drive.
runppmconfig -client umg_en -user system -password manager -mode export
-onlinekis C:\OnlineKI.xml
Warning
Do not change the resolution (precision) of time dimensions (timedim) and time of day dimensions (hourdim) in an imported measure configuration later, e.g., from HOUR to SECOND, as re-importing using runppmconfig -overwrite cannot create the required changes in the database tables.
If you want to change the resolution of time and time of day dimensions for a configuration already imported, run a database initialization with the changed configuration.
-registry <host:port>
By specifying this parameter, you can access a remote PPM system whose RMI registry can be reached via the specified computer name and port number.
-usessl <true|false|default>
If you specified the -registry parameter, you can use the -usessl parameter to specify whether the remote system is to use SSL-encrypted data communication or not.
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
true |
The remote PPM system uses encrypted data transfer. Ensure that the local system and remote system are using the same keystore. |
false |
The remote system uses unencrypted data transfer. |
default |
The settings of the local PPM system are used. |
