Importing User Information into the NDS Database
4 (Optional) Route import errors to a file.
If errors occur during the import process, messages appear on your workstation
screen. If you want the messages sent to a file, add the DOS “>filename” option
to the command.
For example, to route the messages to a file called UIMPORT.LOG in your
home directory, use a command similar to the following:
UIMPORT [control_file] [data_file]
>HOME\PAUL\UIMPORT.LOG <Enter>
NOTE: When importing large groups of users, the performance of your server might begin
to slow down. The reduction in performance is related to the amount of disk space
available for NDS and TTS to use with UIMPORT’s numerous transactions and is
also related to the size of UIMPORT batches and the amount of available server
memory.Procedure
If you will be importing large groups of users or experience decreased server
performance while running UIMPORT, you can add server memory, process smaller
batches of users, or process UIMPORT batches during periods of low server
utilization.
