Use the tacmd bulkImportSit command to import all the available objects to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server from BULK_OBJECT_PATH. You can filter for a specified system type, a list of specified system types, a specified object name, or a listfile containing object names. You must log in by using the login command before running the bulkimportsit command.

where:

-p|--path

Specifies the path name from where the objects are imported. The XML files for import should be made available in SITUATIONFILEPATH\Bulk\SITUATION\Productcode\ directory. The following example would import files from C:\temp\Bulk\SITUATION\NT\:

tacmd bulkimportsit -p C:\temp -t NT

-t|--type| –types

One or more system types. Specify a two-digit character code of the system type name to import objects. Specify 'Others' to import objects that do not pertain to any of the two-digit product codes.

-n|--names

One or more object names. Specify a list of object names to import.

-l --listfile

Specifies the file name that contains the list of object names to import. Specify the file name without the file name extension. For example, object_name.xml would be object_name.

-f|--force

Imports the objects without confirmation.

-d|--distribution

Imports the distribution list of the situations along with the other details.

For Windows® systems, this command imports all situations from the application type subdirectories (NT, UX, and so on) under the path C:\temp\Bulk\Situation\ directory into the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server that the user is logged on to. The command executes without prompting for confirmation because the "-f" option was provided.

   tacmd bulkImportSit -p C:\temp -f

For UNIX® systems, this command imports all the situation objects that are available from the respective product code subdirectories under the path /tmp/Bulk/SITUATION/.

   tacmd bulkimportsit -p /tmp

This example imports the situation NT_Service_Error with its distribution.

   tacmd bulkimportsit -n NT_Service_Error -d
