Use the

import

command to import a Dynamic Data Masking service and the connection rules associated with the service into a Dynamic Data Masking Server. The type of service that you import must be the same type of service that you specify as the location to import the service. For example, you can import a DDM for Oracle service into a DDM for Oracle service, but you cannot import a DDM for Oracle service into a DDM for Sybase service.

If you do not specify a target Dynamic Data Masking Server, the

import

command imports the service into the local Dynamic Data Masking Server. Use the

-targets

parameter to specify multiple target Dynamic Data Masking Servers.

The command uses the following syntax:

server service
	 import <DDM Service> <file>
  [[-targets] user/pwd@host:port[user/pwd@host:port user/pwd@host:port]]

For example, if you exported a DDM for Oracle service and named the file DDM_for_Oracle, and you want to import the service into the local Dynamic Data Masking Server, you might enter the following command:

server service import "DDM for Oracle" "DDM_for_Oracle"

If you want to import the DDM_for_Oracle file into multiple Dynamic Data Masking Servers, you might enter the following command:

server service import "DDM for Oracle" "DDM_for_Oracle" -targets admin/admin@ABC12345:1111 admin/admin@XYZ9876:2222

The

import

command uses the following parameters:

DDM Service

The name of the Dynamic Data Masking service that you want to import. You must enter a valid name for the service, such as "DDM for Oracle." If the service that you want to import does not exist, Dynamic Data Masking creates the service in the Management Console tree. If you specify the name of an existing service, the type of service that you import must be the same type as the service that you import into.

file

The file name of the Dynamic Data Masking service that you want to import.

-targets

Indicates that the following arguments are targets.

user

The Dynamic Data Masking user name that you use to log in to the Dynamic Data Masking Server.

pwd

The password for the Dynamic Data Masking user.

host

The Dynamic Data Masking Server host name or IP address.

port

The Dynamic Data Masking Server listener port.
