Import aliases

You can import aliases to MashZone NextGen.

The aliases are saved in a ZIP file that contains among other things the alias definitions and permissions.

Procedure

  1. Open a command window and move to the <MashZone NextGen installation>/prestocli/bin

    folder.
  2. Enter this command:

    padmin importAlias [-l prestoURL] -f input-file -p importPermissions -u username -w password [-v] [-o]

    -f input-file: path and name for the import ZIP file.

    -p importPermissions: Imports the permissions saved in the import ZIP file.

    -o: is optional. Allows to overwrite an existing alias.

    -l prestoUrl: is optional. Use this if the MashZone NextGen Server is remote or if it is not running in Tomcat on the default Tomcat port. If you omit this option, this defaults to http://localhost:8080/mashzone/esd/api.

    -u

    username: is the MashZone NextGen username to log in with. This account must have MashZone NextGen administrator permissions.

    -w password: is the MashZone NextGen password to log in with.

    -v: is an optional flag to turn on verbose logging.

Once the import command completes successfully, you can use the imported aliases in MashZone NextGen.
