tw_disco_import_platforms

The tw_disco_import_platforms utility enables you to import the customizable platform scripts used by BMC Atrium Discovery after they have been copied to another appliance, where they have been exported using tw_disco_export_platforms). After the scripts are imported, the corresponding platforms are displayed on the Administration => Discovery Platforms page.
To use the utility, type the following command at the $TIDEWAY/bin/ directory:

tw_disco_import_platforms [options] files

where:

files is a list of files to be imported (except for when you use the reset option).

options are any of the commands described in the following table.

Command Line Option	Description
`--reset`	Resets all commands to the default value. This is equivalent to clicking Reset All on the Administration => Platforms page (except only commands that have been customized will display).
`-u, --username=NAME`	Specify the name of the BMC Atrium user. If no name is specified, BMC Atrium Discovery uses the default, `system`.

User example

In the following example, type the commands on a single line. Line breaks are provided to make the example easier to read.

Importing previously exported discovery scripts

The following command imports previously exported scripts to an appliance:

$TIDEWAY/bin/tw_disco_import_platforms --password 'secret' 
my_scripts_backup.xml

Note
Any commands that you import will override content in the snapshot. The import process will not affect anything on the appliance that is not in the .xml file. (For example, if you manually deleted a lot of content from the .xml file, and then imported it, nothing would be removed from the appliance.)
