ImportFromPC

ImportFromPC

Converts a PowerCenter repository object XML file to a Model repository object XML file. Export PowerCenter repository objects to an XML file. Run the importFromPC command to create a target XML file with objects that you can import into a Model repository.
You can import the target XML file to a Model respository with the infacmd tools ImportObjects command or from the Developer tool. If you use the command line to import the target XML file, ImportFromPC does not assign connections to the Model repository objects in the target XML file. You can assign connections with the infacmd oie ImportObjects command or from the Developer tool.
The infacmd ipc importFromPC command uses the following syntax: 
importFromPC

<-Release|-rel> release_number

[<-SourceFile|-sf> source_file]

[<-TargetFile|-tf> target_location]

[<-Check|-c>]

[<-Db2Type|-dt> default_db2_type]

[<-Db2TypesFile|-df> db2_types_file]

[<-DefaultLookUpConType|-dl> default_lookup_con_type]

[<-LookUpConTypesFile|-lcf> lookup_connection_types_file]

[<-ConvertOverriddenProps|-orprops> recreate_transformation_with_overridden_properties_
in_mappings]

[<-LogFile|-lf> log_file]
The following table describes infacmd ipc ImportFromPC command options and arguments:
Option
Argument
Description
-Release
-rel
release_number
Required. The version of the Model repository.
-SourceFile
-sf
source_file
Required. The full path to a PowerCenter XML file containing the source objects.
-TargetFile
-tf
target_location
Required if you do not specify -Check or -c. The full path to a target XML file.
-Check
-c
-
Optional. Tests the conversion without creating a target file.
When you test object conversion, you do not require target location.
-Db2Type
-dt
default_db2_type
Optional. The DB2 subsystem type used for conversion.
You can specify either Db2Type or Db2TypesFile, or both. If you specify both Db2Type and Db2TypesFile for IBM DB2 objects, the DB2 source and target that are not listed in the Db2TypesFile gets converted to the Db2Type.
If you do not specify a DB2 subsystem type, the default DB2 subsystem type is used.
Default is LUW.
-Db2TypesFile
-df
db2_types_file
Optional. A property file that contains the PowerCenter DB2 source and Db2 subsystem type. You can use a Db2 types file if the Db2 source and target are from different subsystems such as LUW, z/OS, or i/OS.
You can specify either Db2Type or Db2TypesFile, or both. If you specify both Db2Type and Db2TypesFile for IBM DB2 objects, the DB2 source and target that are not listed in the Db2TypesFile gets converted to the Db2Type.
If you do not specify the DB2 subsystem type, the default DB2 subsystem type is used.
Default is LUW.
-DefaultLookUpConType
-dl
default_lookup_con_type
Optional. The lookup connection type used for conversion.
You can specify either DefaultLookUpConType or LookUpConTypesFile, or both. If you specify both DefaultLookUpConType and LookUpConTypesFile for the lookup objects, the Lookup transformations that are not listed in the LookUpConTypesFile are converted to the DefaultLookUpConType.
If you do not specify the DefaultLookUpConType for a lookup object during conversion, the default connection type is used.
Default is ODBC.
-LookUpConTypesFile
-lcf
lookup_connection_type_file
Optional. A property file that contains the lookup source and the lookup connection type. You can use a lookup connection type file if the lookup objects are from different databases, such as Oracle or IBM DB2.
You can specify either DefaultLookUpConType or LookUpConTypesFile, or both.
If you specify both the files for the lookup objects, the Lookup transformations that are not listed in the LookUpConTypesFile converts to the DefaultLookUpConType.
If you do not specify the DefaultLookUpConType for a lookup object during conversion, the default connection type is used.
Default is ODBC.
-ConvertOverridenprops
-orprops
True|False
Optional. Preserves override properties for reusable PowerCenter source, target, and transformations during conversion.
The command creates nonreusable transformations for PowerCenter transformations with override properties. It also creates reusable data objects for PowerCenter sources and targets with override properties.
Valid values are True or False.
Default is True.
-LogFile
-lf
log_file
Optional. Path and file name of the output log file.
Default is STDOUT.
