Chris, It may be a typo... but where is the -x flag?
arimportcmd -u <user_name> [-p <password>] -x <server_name> [-w <external_authentication_string>] [-r <rpc_number>] [-a <port_number>] [-l <log_file_path>] [-e <duplicate_field>] [-n <suppress_filters>] [-t <multi_match_option>] [-o <data_file_name>] [-f <destination_form_name>] [-v <force_override>] [ -M <fully_qualified_mapping_file_name> ] OR [ -m <mapping name> -d <Mapping directory> ] Use either a combination of -m and -d, or -M, to specify the mapping to use. You cannot use both the combination of -m and -d with -M; they are mutually exclusive. FWIW: The v7.1 doc (Pg 206 of Integrating-710.pdf) seem to suggest that -x is optional when using a mapping file. However I suspect that is only true when using the -M option. ( But I may be interpolating to much on these features. YMMV.) And the "Importing without mapping" appears to indicated that -x is required. So maybe it is just a bug that the server name is not used from the mapping file? Anyways.. It just a WAG.. ( It is really hard to guess what could be wrong when there is no reported error. Did the log file have anything in it? ) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
