Use the Import Script From the Command Line
The import script is a command line utility that pulls content into an enterprise or database repository from two kinds of files: Individual KJB or KTR files, or complete repository export XML files.
You must also declare a rules file that defines certain parameters for the data integration content you're importing. We provide a sample file called import-rules.xml, included with the standard Data Integration client tool distribution. It contains all of the potential rules with comments that describe what each rule does. You can either modify this file, or copy its contents to another file; regardless, you must declare the rules file as a command line parameter.
Options
The table below defines command line options for the import script. Options are declared with a dash, followed by the option, then the (equals) sign and the value.
Example:
sh import.sh -rep=PRODUCTION -user=admin -pass=12345 -dir=/ -file=import-rules.xml -rules=import-rules.xml -replace -comment="New version upload from UAT"
