I have a Java program that does all sorts of migration work for us, including data import from ARX. I have previously written my own parsing routine for ARX which works fairly well, but I would prefer to use theirs (because it's theirs) from within my Java program without launching another shell to execute it. My hope was that they built it to be called as an instance, and I have it 'functional' but I would like to do some additional things than just grab the file and import it...and am having difficulty figuring out the interface without any documentation.

Are you importing data from a file or from data stored in memory? If from a file, couldn't you simply call out to the command line version of the import utility to do the work? I know that may not be as elegant or streamlined as it sounds like you would like, but it might be much easier.

Are you sure that BMC intended its import utility to also provide an API for use in other programs?

In 7.5 the Import tool is a Java program. I would like to attach to that Java API via my Java program and perform actions with it. I have been able to successfully add their java class to my program, but without documentation I'm finding it difficult to utilize the api. _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Maheshwari, Rahul Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 9:12 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: DataImport JavaDoc ** The documentation is available in Chapter-17 of the following: http://documents.bmc.com/supportu/documents/53/80/95380/95380.pdf Thanks & Regards, Rahul Maheshwari _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of LJ Longwing Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 8:09 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: DataImport JavaDoc That unfortunately is help on how to use the GUI tool, not documentation of the API....and the normal API JavaDocs don't have this documentation. _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Ian Trimnell Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 11:42 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: DataImport JavaDoc ** LJ Longwing wrote: ** I'm looking for the JavaDoc for the new 7.5 Java DataImport tool.

On our Windows 2003 server they are in: C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\dataimporttool\plugins\com.bmc.arsys.dataimport.help_7.5.0 \doc.zip In the com.bmc.arsys.dataimport.help_7.5.0 folder are some xml files which make up the index pages. These HTML pages are what you get if you select Help Contents form the Help menu within BMC Remedy Data Import.
