Parameters to import and export files

The version control command line tool provides you the following parameters to import and export specific files. In Service Manager, a file is equivalent to a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) table. For more information, see File.

Parameters to export files

To export Service Manager files, you can run the sm -svc_export command with the following parameters, or add the following parameters in the sm.ini file.

Parameter	Description
svc_files	Specifies a list of files to export. Use commas to separate multiple files (no space before or after a comma). Service Manager exports all files in the system if the parameter is not set.
svc_excludefiles	Specifies a list of files that you want to exclude from the export operation. Use commas to separate multiple files (no space before or after a comma).

For example, if you want to export ScriptLibrary and formatctrl data only , add the following line in sm.ini:

svc_files:ScriptLibrary,formatctrl

Parameters to import files

To import Service Manager files, you can run the sm -svc_import command with the following parameters, or add the following parameters in the sm.ini file.

Parameter	Description
svc_cleanbuild	If the value of this parameter is set to 1, all the files in the svc_rootdir directory are imported; if the value of this parameter is set to 0 or not set, the list of files to import is determined by the svc_files parameter.
svc_files	Specifies a list of files to import. Use commas to separate multiple files (no space before or after a comma). Note This parameter works only if the svc_cleanbuild parameter is set to 0 or not set.
svc_excludefiles	Specifies the list of files that is excluded in the importing operation. Use commas to separate multiple files (no space before or after a comma).

For example, if you want to import only records in the ScriptLibrary and formatctrl folders under the svc_root directory, add the following lines in sm.ini:

svc_cleanbuild:0

svc_files:ScriptLibrary,formatctrl
