Importing Organizational Structure XML Files
You can define organizational structures using an XML file, then import the XML file into FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications. The organizational structure can then be viewed and edited using the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications interface.
You can import organizational structure XML files in two ways—using the Import button on the Organizational Structures page in the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications interface and using the command-line utility flexnet importorgstructure.
To import organizational structure XML files, a user must have a role with the Import Org Structures from Command Line permission.
Note:Because importing large files from the Organizational Structures page may take a significant amount of time, it is recommended that you use command-line import if the organizational structure XML file is larger than 150 MB.
Importing from the Organizational Structures Page
To import an organizational structure XML file from the Organizational Structures page:
| 1. | From the Reporting tab, under Organizational Structures, click Organizational Structures. |
| 2. | In the Location field, type the path or click Browse to navigate to your XML file. |
| 3. | Click Import. |
Importing from the Command Line Using flexnet importorgstructure
To import an organizational structure XML file at the command line:
| 1. | Ensure that FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Admin and FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Reporting are running. |
| 2. | Open a Command prompt and change to the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Admin installation directory <fnm_admin_installdir>. |
