Importing Objects Using a Command Line Tool
You can import objects from another portal with a migration
package.
- Copy the migration package to the target portal host computer.
- Log in to the host computer for the portal as the user
who owns the portal installation.
- Use the command ptmigration.bat (for
Windows) or ./ptmigration.sh (for Unix) with
the following parameters:
ptmigration.bat [username] [password] -import [migration
package name] [log file name] <-noacl> <-overwriteremoteservers>
<-createnewobjectinstances>
Where the parameters
are as follows:
| Parameter |
Description |
| migration package name |
Required. The name and path of the migration package to be
created |
| log file name |
Required. The name and path of the log file to be created.
The path to the log file must be different from that of the migration
package. |
| -noacl |
Optional. Use this parameter if you do not want to import the
Access Control Lists (security data) associated with the objects you
are importing. |
| -overwriteremoteservers |
Optional. Specifies that existing remote server objects should
be overwritten by remote server objects in the migration package.
The default is that existing remote servers are not overwritten. |
| -createnewobjectinstances |
Optional. Use this parameter if you want to create new object
instances instead of overwriting objects that may already exist on
the importing portal. |
- Press ENTER.
All the objects in the migration package are imported.
The imported objects are located in the same folders on the target
portal as on the source portal. Objects with missing dependencies
will be skipped and not imported. Check the migration log to see which
ones were skipped.
