Import

Performs a metadata and data import from object export files. Imports reference table metadata into the Model repository and imports the data into the reference data database. Also imports reference data without the metadata.
Before you import reference table data, the project must exist in the Model repository.
The infacmd rtm Import command uses the following syntax:
Import

<-DomainName|-dn> Domain name

<-UserName|-un> User name

<-Password|-pd> Password

<-securityDomain|-sdn> Security domain

[<-Gateway|-hp> Domain gateway host:port]

[<-NodeName|-nn> Node name]

<-RepositoryService|-rs> Model Repository Service name

<-CodePage|-cp> Code page

<-ConflictResolution|-cr> Conflict resolution

<-ImportType|-it> Import type

<-Folder|-f> The folder to import from

[<-FileName|-fn> Required only for importing a single dictionary]

[<-MetadataFile|-mf> Required only for Object import]

[<-ProjectFolder|-pf> Name of the project folder to import into]

[<-NotRecursive|-nr> Don't include subfolders]
The following table describes infacmd rtm Import options and arguments:
Option
Argument
Description
-DomainName
-dn
Domain name
Required. Name of the Informatica domain.
You can set the domain name with the -dn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN. If you set a domain name with both methods, the -dn option takes precedence.
-UserName
-un
User name
Required if the domain uses Native or LDAP authentication. User name to connect to the domain. You can set the user name with the -un option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_USER. If you set a user name with both methods, the -un option takes precedence.
Optional if the domain uses Kerberos authentication. To run the command with single sign-on, do not set the user name. If you set the user name, the command runs without single sign-on.
-Password
-pd
Password
Required if you specify the user name. Password for the user name. The password is case sensitive. You can set a password with the -pd option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_PASSWORD. If you set a password with both methods, the password set with the -pd option takes precedence.
-securityDomain
-sdn
Security domain
Required if the domain uses LDAP authentication. Optional if the domain uses native authentication or Kerberos authentication. Name of the security domain to which the domain user belongs. You can set a security domain with the -sdn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_SECURITY_DOMAIN. If you set a security domain name with both methods, the -sdn option takes precedence. The security domain name is case sensitive.
If the domain uses native or LDAP authentication, the default is Native. If the domain uses Kerberos authentication, the default is the LDAP security domain created during installation. The name of the security domain is the same as the user realm specified during installation.
-Gateway
-hp
Domain gateway host:port
Required if the gateway connectivity information in the domains.infa file is out of date. Host name and port number for the gateway node in the domain. Use the following syntax:
gateway_hostname:HttpPort
-NodeName
-nn
Node name
Optional. Name of the gateway node for the Model Repository Service.
-RepositoryService
-rs
Model Repository Service name
Required. Model Repository Service name.
-CodePage
-cp
Code page
Required. Code page for the reference data.
-ConflictResolution
-cr
Conflict resolution
Required. Defines behavior when a name conflict occurs. Enter one of the following arguments:
  • - Replace. Drop the existing reference table from the database and create a new reference table.
  • - Rename. Create a new reference table with a different name.
  • - Skip. Do not import the reference table.
-ImportType
-it
