Process multiple entities

To export or import a large quantity of entities, use the -f option with the IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records Transfer tool.

NOTE The Windows executable for IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records Transfer is RMTransfer.bat, and the UNIX executable is RMTransfer.sh.

To export a large quantity of entities

At the command line, execute this command from the \RMTransfer directory:

RMTransfer.bat -export -f <file name> 

For example:

RMTransfer.bat -export -f export_input.txt

where export_input.txt contains the following:

fp-/Records Management/File Plan
f-/Records Management/File Plan/SyuCat/physical_folder
f-/Records Management/File Plan/SyuCat/Multiple_Volumes_Folder
c-/Records Management/File Plan/TransferTestCategory
r-{B8A11A3C-813F-4D9A-8304-8C3EBB19F20C}
r-{E18D4AE6-B49E-4F20-9546-63D6C3770C81}

fp- indicates a file plan
f-  indicates a folder
c- indicates a category
r- indicates a record

In the above example, IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records Transfer exports all categories in the file plan, the record folders, and all records contained in the record folders and category. In addition, IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records Transfer exports the records specified by the GUIDs.

To import a large quantity of entities

At the command line, execute this command from the \RMTransfer directory:

RMTransfer.bat –import -f <file name> 

For example:

RMTransfer.bat -export -f import_input.txt

where import_input.txt contains the following:

d-C:\temp\Transfer\Import-vm08
x-C:\temp\Transfer\Import-vm08-2\F_test20080306101718843_1.xml
