Lisa, when you rem out that java line, nothing happens because that is what runs the actual import of the data, the dataimport.bat sets up the environment variables needed to run java and call the dataimport class and then takes all of the parameters you specify on the command line and runs java, calls that class and passes the parameters to it.

I really miss that tool). :( We are on ARS 7.6.04 SP2. Can anyone assist me? Right now, just trying to kick off an import at the cmd line: C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\dataimporttool> dataimport.bat -x usy90ap421.us.tycoelectronics.com -a 5213 -u username -p password -l "c:\ARProcesses\Log s\JobImport.log" -M "C:\ARProcesses\Importmap\JobImport.armx" -o "C:\temp\TWS_Jobs.csv" But nothing happens, no log file either. My dataimport.bat file looks like. I put a REM before the java line (after the Launch the Import Line) because I'm launching the import from a cmd file) Is this correct? set CUR_DIR=%~dp0 rem Save the environment variables we are changing so we can reset them set _CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH% set _PATH=%PATH% rem -- Set up the environment variables. set APIDROP=.\plugins\com.bmc.arsys.studio.api_7.6.04\lib if not exist "%JAVA_HOME%" set JAVA_HOME=jdkPath set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%;%APIDROP% rem Set the classpath to include all the required jar files set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%CUR_DIR%\plugins\com.bmc.arsys.studio.api_7.6.4.build002\lib\arapiext7604_build002.jar;%CUR_DIR%\plugins\com.bmc.arsys.studio.api_7.6.4.build002\lib\arapi7604_build002.jar;%CUR_DIR%\plugins\com.bmc.arsys.studio.api_7.6.4.build002\lib\log4j-1.2.14.jar;%CUR_DIR%\plugins\com.bmc.arsys.studio.api_7.6.4.build002\lib\activation.jar; rem Launch the import rem java -Xms64m -Xmx512m com.bmc.arsys.apiext.data.DataImport %* rem Reset the environment set CLASSPATH=%_CLASSPATH% set PATH=%_PATH% Lisa Kemes AR System Developer TEIS - USA +1 717 810 2408 tel +1 717 602 9460 mobile lisa.ke...@te.com<mailto:lisa.ke...@te.com> 100 Amp Drive Harrisburg, PA 17112 [http://www.te.com/images/socialmedia/smallTElogo.gif]<http://www.te.com/> www.te.com<http://www.te.com/> [http://www.te.com/images/socialmedia/twitter.png]<http://twitter.com/teconnectivity>[http://www.te.com/images/socialmedia/facebook.png]<http://www.facebook.com/teconnectivity>[http://www.te.com/images/socialmedia/flickr.png]<http://www.flickr.com/photos/teconnectivity/>[http://www.te.com/images/socialmedia/linkedin.png]<http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1591657>[http://www.te.com/images/socialmedia/youtube.png]<http://www.youtube.com/teconnectivity> _attend WWRUG12 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
