Dear All,

I have 250-or-so backup images that I need to import into an SMP. Does anyone know of a tool that I can script to import the images into the system?

I cannot find any command line switches for the ResourceImportTool.exe and I have had a look through the ASDK, but nothing jumps out at me...

Kindest regards,

QuietLeni

Does anyone have any information on this at all??

Hi QuietLeni,

1. You mean that you've tried to use ImportExportUtil.exe?

• C:\Program Files\Altiris\Notification Server\Bin\Tools\ImportExportUtil.exe

⇒ http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO2573

Or you've tried to use exact ResourceImportTool.exe?

2. Why don't you add all these packages in some shared location and specify this location as "Software Library" on SMP server?

Thanks,

Igor,

Thanks for the information. I mentioned the ResourceImportTool.exe only and that seems not to have any command line switches.

The ImportExportUtil.exe sounds a little promising, but these are images (Ghost files) that need to be imported into the SMP (7.1 or 7.5) and those are usually imported via the ResourceImportTool.exe.

Ideally, I would prefer to have command-line arguements on the ResourceImportTool.exe an then execute that in a Server Task.

Alternatively to seeing my wishes fulfilled by our friends, I am wondering if it is possible to export a template Ghost Image XML file, alter the GUID of the object and the path to the image in the XML and then import it via the ImportExportUtil.exe.

Would this be supported by Symantec?

Kindest regards,

QuietLeni

Yes, I've found this ResourceImportTool.exe on my server. Seems like it works in one command line, using settings/information from specified "Import.xml file". Did you try this?

"Resource Import Tool.exe" "Import.xml"

Haven't found any mention that "ResourceImportTool.exe" has command line parameter...

I don't know about "is this supported" and even didn't try such case.

Interesting, Igor. I had not tried giving the command line parameter of an XML file!

I just need to get an example XML file, turn that into a template and change the GUIDs and paths inside!
