IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.+            

Processing multiple entities

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

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

To export and import a large quantity of entities:

  1. 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 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 above 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, execute 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.
