In-Depth Information
•
CMD:
This parameter is used to specify the command name. Set it to
EXPORT
when exporting BAM artifacts to a file, and set it to
IMPORT
when
importing BAM artifacts from a file.
•
TYPE:
This parameter is used to specify the type of a BAM artifact (for ex-
ample,
DATAOBJECT, REPORT, RULE, EMS, EDS
, and so on).
•
ALL:
This parameter is used to specify the set of the artifacts. This paramet-
er is set to
0
, by default. Set it to
1
, if you want to perform an operation on
all the artifacts with the specified type.
•
DEPENDENCIES:
This parameter is used only when the
DATAOBJECT
type
is specified. Set it to
1
, if you want to preserve the dependencies among the
Data Objects.
•
FILE:
This parameter is used to specify the filename, which should be
.xml
for the
import
or the
export
operations.
To merge the export files into a single file, use the
APPEND, HEADER
, and
FOOTER
parameters as follows:
icommand -CMD EXPORT -TYPE DATAOBJECT -ALL 1 -DEPENDENCIES 1 -FILE export.xml -HEADER 1 -FOOTER 0
icommand -CMD EXPORT -TYPE REPORT -ALL 1 -FILE export.xml -APPEND 1 -HEADER 0 -FOOTER 0
icommand -CMD EXPORT -TYPE RULE -ALL 1 -FILE export.xml -APPEND 1 -HEADER 0 -FOOTER 0
icommand -CMD EXPORT -TYPE EMS -ALL 1 -FILE export.xml -APPEND 1 -HEADER 0 -FOOTER 0
icommand -CMD EXPORT -TYPE EDS -ALL 1 -FILE export.xml -APPEND 1 -HEADER 0 -FOOTER 1
The
HEADER
flag specifies whether the XML header information is written to the
front of the export file. Similarly, the
FOOTER
flag determines if the footer inform-
ation should be added to the end of the export file. As you have only one header
and footer in the
export
file, set the
HEADER
flag to
1
in the first
ICommand
statement, and set the
FOOTER
flag to
1
in the last
ICommand
statement. The
APPEND
flag controls whether the contents will be appended to an existing file or
not.
The previous example exports all Data Objects and reports to the export file.
However, if you only want to move your application-specific data (for example,
