dataflow import

The dataflow import command imports a dataflow file (a .df file) into the server. Dataflow files are created by exporting a dataflow from the server using the dataflow export command.

Usage

dataflow import --f DataflowFile --u TrueOrFalse --p Path --c TrueOrFalse
RequiredArgumentDescription
Yes--f DataflowFileSpecifies the dataflow file (the .df file) you want to import. Relative directory paths are relative to the location where you are running the Administration Utility. You can also specify an absolute path.
No--u TrueOrFalseSpecifies whether to overwrite the existing dataflow if a dataflow with the same name is already on the server, where TrueOfFalse is one of the following:
true
If there is a dataflow on the server with the same name as the dataflow you are importing, the dataflow on the server will be overwritten. This is the default setting.
false
If there is a dataflow on the server with the same name as the dataflow you are importing, the dataflow will not be imported.
No--p PathSpecifies the Spectrum Enterprise Designer Server Explorer folder to import the flow into.
No--c TrueOrFalseSpecifies whether to create the folder specified in --p if it does not exist.
true
Create the folder specified in --p if it does not exist. Default.
false
Do not create the folder specified in --p if it does not exist. The flow will not be imported unless the folder specified in --p exists.

Example

This example imports the dataflow named MyDataflow.df which is located in a subfolder named exported in the location where you are running the Administration Utility. The dataflow will be imported into the Samples folder in Spectrum Enterprise Designer.

dataflow import --f exported\MyDataflow.df --p Samples
