Rational Programming Patterns

rpp --import

This command imports the instances into the local workspace. Only the import of a .ta2 file is available.

Note: From Rational Programming Patterns V9.0.1, the Pacbase version number is included in the .ta2 file. If the version in this file is not compatible with the current version of Rational Programing Patterns, the import is not run and an error is generated. The control does not go down to the subversion level (Y09A for example).

Syntax

rpp.bat --import [options]

Parameters

Table 1. List of the available parameters
Options Comments Required Default values

The beginning of this file reminds the parameters that were entered to run the Pacbase migration procedures.

trace.log
--importType Import type Yes ta2
--fromFile Input file name Yes  
--location Target location Yes  
--overwrite Overwrite existing files N/A false
--generatedDataFile Path and name of the .xml technical file that is generated after the import   imported_data_refer.xml in the .metadata folder, where refer corresponds to the target location
--report Import report file N/A .pacmigration.log in .metadata folder of the workspace
--overwriteReport Overwrite report file N/A false - default append to the existing file
For its later use, the script file that contains the SCM commands must be completed with the following elements:
  • User code in Rational Team Concert
  • Name of the stream where the projects are uploaded to
  • Address of the Rational Team Concert server
  • Path of the folder that contains the lscm command

The .xml technical file that is created at the end of the import is required to import updates from the journal. This file contains information that is not included in the Rational Programming Patterns metamodel, and the list of the instances that were previously imported.

At the end of the import, you can open the report file if errors were detected.
