Synopsis

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar TAImportExportTool.jar --ImportToPath [--server<value>] [--port<value>] --uid<value> 
--pwd<value> --repoName<value> --projectName<value> --sourceFile<value> --destinationFolder<value> 
[--overwrite<true|false>] [--includePictureChecks<yes|no>]
  • -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

    Encoding type of the command

  • TAImportExportTool.jar

    An executable .jar file used to invoke the Import/Export tool.

    The file can be found at TA_INSTALL_DIR\binclient.

  • –ImportToPath

    Invoke the import items function.

  • –server <value>

    (Optional, default = localhost) Full hostname or IP address of the repository server hosting the repository into which the item is to be imported.

    Note:
    If this argument is not defined, localhost is used as the default.

  • –port <value>

    (Optional, default = 53400) Port number of the repository server.

    Note:
    • If this argument is set to 0 or not defined, the default port number 53400 is used.
    • If port number of the source repository server has been changed from its TestArchitect default of 53400, ensure that the correct port number is specified.
  • –uid <value>

    User name with which to log in to repository.

    Note:
    If the user namecontains any spaces, enclose it between a pair of double quotation marks.

  • –pwd <value>

    Password for the given user name.

  • –repoName <value>

    Name of the target repository.

    Note:
    If the repository namecontains any spaces, enclose it between a pair of double quotation marks..

  • –projectName <value>

    Name of the target TestArchitect project.

    Note:
    If the project namecontains any spaces, enclose it between a pair of double quotation marks.

  • –sourceFile <value>

    Path to file that is to be imported.

    Note:
    • Network paths are also supported.
    • If the pathcontains any spaces, enclose it between a pair of double quotation marks.
  • –destinationFolder <value>

    Location (TA path) of the project item root node (Tests, Data, etc.) or folder into which the item is to be imported.

    Value must start with a forward slash ( / ), and provide a full (non-case sensitive) TA path, starting with the root project item node (e.g., Tests, Data, etc.)

    For example: /Tests/Action-based Testing Basics/Data Driven Tests

    Note:
    • The specified root node must match the type of project item being imported. (e.g., Data for data sets)
    • In the case of importing test cases, the path must end with the name of an existing test module.
    • In all but the case of importing test cases, a minimum allowable path consists of forward slash followed by the applicable root project item node.
    • If the destination path does not exist, it is generated automatically, with the exception of importation of test cases.
  • –overwrite <true|false>

    (Optional, default = false) Specify whether the existing project item or test case, if any, should be overwritten.

    Note:
    If this parameter is not specified, or its value is empty, its value defaults to false.

  • –includePictureChecks <yes|no>

    (Optional, default = yes; applicable only to import of test module) Specifies whether the regular picture checks belonging to the source test module are to be included.

    Note:
    • This parameter is only applicable for test modules. If the target item is not a test module, this parameter, if declared, is simply ignored.
    • Only a .zip file containing an exported test module can include that test module’s picture checks. Hence a value of yes for this parameter is only effectual when the -sourceFile parameter specifies a .zip file.

Example: Importing test modules including regular picture checks
