Values of default xml file The table below includes all of the
attributes that are known for this J2EE server action. The
required ones must be defined in the default xml file and can be
overwritten by the XMLGEN "Chapter 5. XMLGEN" on page (195),
script. The default xml file is listed in section
"inputlistj2eeserver.xml" on page 232.

Chapter 4, pg. 84 (added section)

Action importj2eeserver
This action causes a new server to be imported from an HFS file
that was previously created by using the exportserver action.

Syntax
rc = CB390CFG ("-action 'importj2eeserver'
-xmlinput 'defaultxmlfilename'
      -input 'inputfilename'
-output 'outputfilename'")

Syntax details
rc
The return code (rc) is "0" if no errors were detected. If rc is
"4", an error has occurred while processing the action.
defaultxmlfilename
This is the default xml file. The file has to contain a document
type definition (DTD) and all of the required parameters. Only
the optional attributes can be left out. The default xml file
for listserver "inputimportj2eeserver.xml" is listed in section
inputimportj2eeserver.xml on page 233. This file is present in
the /usr/lpp/WebSphere/samples/smapi directory. If the
environment variable DEFAULT_CLIENT_XML_PATH locates to this
directory you only need to type the filename
"inputimportj2eeserver.xml". Otherwise specify the complete
location to the default xml file by setting this parameter to
"/usr/lpp/WebSphere/samples/smapi/inputimportj2eeserver.xml".If
you want to use your own default xml file, you must specify the
complete directory of the file or you must set the
DEFAULT_CLIENT_XML_PATH to this directory.
inputfilename
This parameter is optional. It specifies a file that contains
only name value pairs. Using XMLGEN (Chapter 5. XMLGEN on page
211), you can set the values of the default xml file to these
new specified values. An example below show how this works. If
it is not present, the default xmlinput file must contain all
of the required parameters.
outputfilename
This parameter specifies the name of the output file. It will
be written into the /tmp directory.

Values of default xml file
The table below includes all of the attributes that are known
for this server action. The required ones must be defined in the
default xml file or can be defined by the XMLGEN (Chapter 5.
XMLGEN on page 211), script. The default xml file is listed in
section inputimportj2eeserver.xml on page 233.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Parameter name   |Values                            |Required
----------------------------------------------------------------
conversationname |Name of a conversation in state   |   x
                 |modifiable.                       |
----------------------------------------------------------------
inputdirectory   |Name of the HFS directory to      |   x
                 |which a server had been           |
                 |previously exported. The          |
                 |import function will look in      |
                 |this directory for a file named   |
                 |server.xml. If the file cannot be |
                 |found in the given directory, it  |
                 |is also searched for in a         |
                 |subdirectory named after the      |
                 |exported server (see parameter    |
                 |"oldj2eeservername").             |
----------------------------------------------------------------
oldj2eeservername|The original name of the server   |   x
                 |that was once exported and is     |
                 |now to be imported.               |
----------------------------------------------------------------
j2eeservername   |The new name under which the      |   x
                 |imported server should be created.|
                 |It is highly recommended to set   |
                 |this parameter to the same value  |
                 | as "oldj2eeservername".          |
