importPolicyTemplates

Use the importPolicyTemplates command to import the policy templates contained in a previously created export file. The policy templates to import are taken from the file provided by the -i parameter, or from stdin if no such file is specified.

By default, this command replaces all existing templates that are older than the imported templates.

Command syntax

btmcli importPolicyTemplates [-i inputFile]
                      [-replace ALL | all | NEWER | newer | NONE | none]
                      [-v] -s sphereUrl -l username:password
