Subj: [datamgt] SUMMARY: Setting Pro/CONVERT Import options Date: 6/4/2003 9:33:34 AM Eastern Daylight Time From: olaf.corten@molding.fico.nl To: datamgt@ptcuser.org Sent from the Internet (Details) Hi, I got a really quick reply from PTC (thanks!). You can't set the options in proconvert for a number of databases at once. But you can import a Pro/PDM database in command line mode. This was the reply I got: Here is a description of the pdmiclient command: pdmiclient pdmimport : -filespace -relscheme -pooltable -onplace / -filesonly/ -metaonly (default is copy if this argument isn't set) -revhist (import revision history files if this argument is set) the arguments must be set as in the following example: Assume you're importing the Pro/PDM productDB "FORMATS" located on server "melbourne". The current database location is /usr/pdmdata and you want the new vault to be created under /usr/ilinkdata/vaults/LIB on the fileserver "sydney". The storage cluster for this database is LIBRARY. The release scheme for this database is LIBRARY. You want to import the RH files. The command to use would be: /bin/pdmiclient pdmimport melbourne:FORMATS \ -filespace LIBRARY -relscheme LIBRARY \ -pooltable /pool_table -revhist pool_table is a file formatted as follows: /usr/pdmdata 7777@sydney:/usr/ilinkdata/vaults/LIB Will be testing this in the near future .... -----Original Message----- From: Olaf Corten [mailto:olaf.corten@molding.fico.nl] Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 14:07 To: datamgt Subject: [datamgt] Setting Pro/CONVERT Import options Hey Pro/CONVERT Gurus ..., Does anyone know of a trick to set Pro/CONVERT Import Options for a number of databases at once? I am currently test converting databases and am getting kind of tired setting the Import options in Pro/CONVERT (like: Import Mode, +RH, Storage Cluster and Release Scheme) for each database individually. I would like to be able to set these options for multiple databases at once. Is that possible? In the final conversion I will have to convert 400+ databases so that's not a task I'm really looking forward to ....
