IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.2    

Processing multiple entities

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

About this task

Attention: The Windows executable program for IBM Enterprise Records Transfer is RMTransfer.bat, and the executable program for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris is RMTransfer.sh.

Procedure

To export and import a large quantity of entities:

  1. To export a large quantity of entities, at the command line, enter 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 has the following contents:
    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 earlier example, IBM 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 Enterprise Records Transfer exports the records specified by the GUIDs.
  2. To import a large quantity of entities, at the command line, enter this command from the \RMTransfer directory:
    RMTransfer.bat -import -f file name
    For example:
    RMTransfer.bat -import -f import_input.txt
    where import_input.txt has the following contents:
    d-C:\temp\Transfer\Import-vm08
    x-C:\temp\Transfer\Import-vm08-2\F_test20080306101718843_1.xml  x-C:\temp\Transfer\Import-vm08-2\F_test20080306101719062_1.xml  x-C:\temp\Transfer\Import-vm08-2\F_test20080306101719250_1.xml
    • d- indicates the full path to a directory.
