Installing CA Enterprise Log Manager - CA Technologies

Importing Data from a SEOSDATA TableYou can also run a preview job to see what the import results would be with aspecific command structure. Preview jobs do not actually import data. This allowsyou to refine your command line options prior to the actual migration.You can run the migration utility more than once using different parameters toimport different kinds of data. For example, you may choose to migrate your datain several, tailored sessions based on a range of entry IDs, the log type, orspecific date ranges.Note: The utility does not offer import tracking of prior sessions. It is possible toduplicate data in your CA Enterprise Log Manager database if you run thecommand with the same parameters more than once.For the best results, break up your import by log type (using the -log option) orby entry ID (using the -minid and -maxid options) to improve importperformance. Use the -retry option to help recover from any errors that mayoccur during event import. The utility uses a default -retry value of 300 secondsto maximize import success.Import Utility Command and OptionsThe LMSeosImport utility supports the following command line syntax andoptions:LMSeosImport -dsn dsn_name -user user_name -password password -target target_name {-sid nnn -eid nnnn-stm yyyy-mm-dd -etm yyyy-mm-dd -log logname -transport (sapi|itech) -chunk nnnn -pretend -verbose -delay-report -retry}-dsn-userSpecifies the name of the host server where the SEOSDATA table resides.This parameter is required.Specifies a valid user ID that has at least Read access to the SEOSDATAtable.
