CLI example

For Windows® systems, this command imports all situations from the application type subdirectories (NT, UX, etc...) under the path C:\temp\Bulk\Situation\ directory into the Tivoli Enterprise Management Server that the user is logged into. The command executes without prompting for confirmation because the "-f" option was provided.

   tacmd bulkImportSit -p C:\temp -f

For UNIX® systems, this command imports all the situation objects that are available from the respective product code subdirectories under the path /tmp/Bulk/SITUATION/.

   tacmd bulkimportsit -p /tmp

Note:

SITUATION in the directory path is case sensitive in case of UNIX.
