myarmimport

myarmimport -- import tool

The myarmimport command line tool is used to import any ARM data from a database or a file (source) into the currently configured database (sink).

Command line options

Usage:

myarmimport [options] import-url [appName][:tranName] \
                                 [appName2][:tranName2]

import-url

URL like data source specification where to import from. See "Database URL notation".

appName:tranName, appName2:tranName2

If specified only import instances and/or definitions of ARM applications which matches this application and/or transaction name. For details about specifying application and/or transaction names read the section "Application and transaction names".

Options

In addition to the options listed below, the myarmimport command supports standard options described in appendix "Standard options" and the constraint options in appendix "Constraints options".

Entity selection options

With one or more of the following entity selection options entities are selected for importing. If a name is omitted all instances of the appropriate entity are deleted. Otherwise only the instances with the name(s) provided are deleted.

-a, --apps

selects application instances to be imported.

-t, --trans

selects transactions instances to be imported.

-u, --users

selects users to be imported.

-m, --metrics

selects system addresses to be imported.

-l, --logs

selects log messages to be imported.

Other options

--all

selects all ARM data to be imported.

-d, --defs

selects only ARM definition data to be imported. Without this option definition and instance data is imported.

Usage example

The following example shows the output of an import of some transaction data from an XML file called chain.xml.

ruppert@debian:/opt/myarm$ myarmimport -t xml:///chain.xml
Imported entities:
Applications: Definitions 1 (Properties 0), Instances 0 (Properties 0)
Transactions: Definitions 3 (Properties 0), Instances 160 (Properties 0)
Metrics     : Definitions 0, Instances 0
Systems     : 0
Users       : 0

The output of the myarmimport program gives an overview which and how many entities (definitions and instances) are imported.
