Importing content

The cbt command imports content to a target SA mesh.

Content import is supported on a forward compatible basis only. That is, you cannot import content from any version of SA into an older version of SA.

The cbt command executable is found in the directory:

/opt/opsware/cbt/bin

The import command is:

cbt -i <content_dir> -p <policy> -cf <target_core_config> --noop

The command and its arguments indicate:

• content_dir — the directory containing the previously-exported content
• policy — the import policy that DET should use when it detects duplicates in the target SA mesh. See the Policy on importing content .
• target_core_config - a configuration file that tells DET where the various SA components are located, and what identity it should use to access them. Instructions for creating this file are located at Configuring the cbt command.
• --noop — Run the import in a “dry run" mode. In other words, don't modify any data. Instead, output a summary of what changes would be made if run normally.

See cbt command reference for a complete list all the available arguments and their meanings.

When Applications are imported using DET, the associated package name in the SA mesh receives a “cbt" suffix. For example:

openssh-3.8p1-sol8-sparc-local_cbt796213986
