About Spectrum Technology Platform
An overview of Spectrum, its data management architecture, its platform architecture, and its modules and components.

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

Required	Argument	Description
Yes	--f `DataflowFile`	Specifies 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 `TrueOrFalse`	Specifies 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 `Path`	Specifies the Spectrum Enterprise Designer Server Explorer folder to import the flow into.
No	--c `TrueOrFalse`	Specifies 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
