import_uiconfig

Imports column configuration XML files. Syntax import_uiconfig [-u=user-id] { [-p=password | -pf=password-file] } [-g=group] (args) Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is a user with Teamcenter administration privileges. If -u is used without a value, the operator system user name is automatically applied. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the -u and -p arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the password. If used without a value, the system assumes a null value. If this argument is not used, the system assumes the user-ID value to be the password. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -pf argument. -pf Specifies the password file. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. If used without a value, the user's default group is assumed. -file Specifies the path and file name for the input file. -for_group Specifies the group or groups to which user interface configuration objects are imported. To specify more than one group, use commas to separate the group names. -for_role Specifies role or roles to which user interface configuration objects are imported. To specify more than one role, use commas to separate the role names. -for_workspace Specifies workspace or workspaces to which user interface configuration objects are imported. To specify more than one workspace, use commas to separate the workspace names. -action= override (default): Specifying this option will override the existing column configuration with the new one. skip: Specifying this option will cause the existing column configuration to be retained and will not be updated. However, if there is no existing configuration, then one will be created. merge: Specifying this option will merge the new column configuration with the existing one. This may cause column order to change. -h Displays help for this utility. Note If neither -for_group or-for_role arguments are included, user interface configuration objects are imported with Site scope. Examples To import the configuration specified in the XML file for multiple roles, in this case: Designer and engineer. Copy import_uiconfig -u= -p= -g=dba -file=exported.xml -for_role=Designer,engineer To import the configuration specified in the XML file for the Engineering group. Copy import_uiconfig -u= -p= -g=dba -file=exported.xml -for_group=Engineering To import the configuration specified in the XML file for multiple groups, in this case Engineering, system and "Validation Administration". Copy import_uiconfig -u= -p= -g=dba -file=exported.xml -for_group=Engineering,system,"Validation Administration" Note A parameter containing spaces, such as Validation Administration in the preceding example, must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").
