Parameter |
Notes |
|---|---|
|
XmlFilePath (Required) |
The path to the xml file containing the job(s) you want to import. |
|
ImportDuplicate (Optional) |
If you use this parameter and the job already exists in the Jobs Database, it will be imported with a new Job ID. If you omit this parameter and the job already exists in the Jobs Database, it will not be imported. For an xml file that contains multiple jobs, only those that are not in the Jobs Database will be imported. If trace logging is enabled, the detail will be logged in the file MetalogixGlobalLog.txt. |
