import

Upload to MySQL Database

Imports data from NPAC files into LSMS databases. This command performs all parameter checking, and validates or creates the NPAC directory if required.

Note: Do not run the import command while any of the following processes are also running: backups, starting a standby node (to change its state from UNINITIALIZED "INHIBITED" to STANDBY), running the lsmsdb quickaudit command, and creating query server snapshots, all of which use temporary storage space. If you try to run the import command while any of these processes are running, you may not have enough disk space to complete the process. Since backups can be run automatically, perform the procedure described in “Checking for Running Backups” to ensure that no backups are running.

Keyword

import

Permission

The user must be defined as a member of the primary group lsms.

Syntax

$LSMS_DIR/import [-c] [-o [-d <dir>]] <region> [<filename>...]

Provided the import command is prefaced by the $LSMS_DIR environment variable, it can be performed from any directory location.

Options

-c: If an error occurs, continue with the next record in the file. Errors are recorded in a file named <filename>_FAILED, where <filename> has the same value as was entered in the command.
-o: Generate a Response file for SV and NPB imports.
-d <dir>: Put the Response file(s) in the specified directory (defaults to the same directory as each SV/NPB import file).

Parameters

<region>: Name of the NPAC region: Midwest, MidAtlantic, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, Western, WestCoast, Canada. This is a required parameter.
<filename>: The name of the NPAC downloadfile in npacftp/<region>. This is an optional parameter. If you do not specify a <filename>, a list displays that includes all the valid import files from the npacftp/<region> directory for the NPAC region specified (the region is a required parameter).

Note: Filenames must adhere to the following formats:

LRN.<create>.<start>.<end> NPANXX.<create>.<start>.<end> NPANXXX.<create>.<start>.<end> SPID.<create>                        <npanxx>-<npanxx>.<create>.<start>.<end>                        <npanxxx>-<npanxxx>.<create>.<start>.<end>

Where:

<create> is the file creation timestamp: <DD-MM-YYYYhhmmss>

<start> is the start of the time-range: <DD-MM-YYYYhhmmss>

<end> is the end of the time-range: <DD-MM-YYYYhhmmss>

Note: For Active (not time-range) files,

<start> is 00-00-0000000000 and             <end> is 99-99-9999999999

Note: SPID files are always Active.

Note: Active files with filenames in the old format, with only a creation timestamp, are still supported.

Example 1:

<npanxx>-<npanxx>.<create>.<start>.<end>:
               
303123-303125.02-11-1998133022.12-10-1998080000.13-10-1998133022

Example 2:

LRN.<create>.<start>.<end> [Active (not time-range) file]:

LRN.02-10-2001102201.00-00-0000000000.99-99-9999999999
