Preparing the Property File
The importexport.properties file is a Java properties file that the Import/Export utility uses
during runtime to identify the system components to use for the operation.
The
importexport.properties file contains three sections:
● Import export operations: The settings in this section are used during import and
export operations. These settings identify the Shared Services instance and the user
credentials.
● Import operations: This section contains the parameters for import operations.
● Export operations: This section contains the parameters for export operations.
➤ To prepare importexport.properties file:
1 Make a backup copy of the importexport.properties file. This file is available in the
<ImpEx_home> /samples directory; for example, C:\hyperion\common\utilities
\CSSImportExportUtility\importexport\samples
(Windows) or apps/Hyperion/
common/utilities/CSSImportExportUtility/importexport/samples
(UNIX).
Note:
Hyperion recommends that the importexport.properties file used for the operation be
stored in
<ImpEx_home> .
2 Using a text editor, open the importexport.properties file. See “Sample importexport.properties
File” on page 106.
3 Update properties. Typically, you should update the properties in import export operations and
one other section, depending on the operation you want to perform:
● Update import operations to import data into Native Directory or to validate an import
file
● Update export operations to export data into an .xml or .csv file.
