Importing XML Tier Definitions Using the Command Line

You can import tier definitions contained in an XML file in two ways—using the Add Tiers page, and from the command line.

Important:The XML file must contain a complete list of tier-feature definitions. The import will delete all previously created tier definitions from FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications. You will need to run aggregation after importing the definitions.

To import tier definitions contained in an XML file using the command line:

1. Ensure that FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Admin and Reporting are running.
2. Open a Command prompt and change to the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Admin installation directory <fnm_admin_installdir>.
3. Type the following command:

flexnet importtiers -u<username> -p<password> -f<tier-definition-file-name-with-path>

To view help for this utility, run the command:

flexnet importtiers help
