Deleting Imported Data - Novell SENTINEL RAPID DEPLOYMENT 6.1 - 12-2009 User Manual

If the data has already been imported or there is no archived data found between the specified dates,
the command returns a notification.
The application imports data from each file into a table and builds the historical view on all the
historical tables. The report view joins on the original table and historical view. All Sentinel reports
use the report view, so they see any imported data.
This command uses the following flags:
Table 11-7
Command
-action
-tableName
-startDate
-endDate
-connectFile
hh24 is hours represented in 24-hour format. For example, 1:15:00 p.m. is 13:15:00 and 3:00:00
a.m. is 03:00:00.
NOTE: The files to be imported must exist in the directory with their originalfile names.
To run importData:
1 Place all the files you want to import in a specific directory (that is, dirPath - <directory to
import files from>) and execute the following command
-action importData -startDate <mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss> -endDate <mm/dd/yyyy
hh24:mi:ss> -tableName <table name> -connectFile <filePath>
The following example imports the archived files from the tmpdirectory containing the data
between dates 09/25/2007 00:00:00 (Sep 25 midnight) and 09/26/2007 00:00:00 (Sep 26
midnight).
PostgreSQL Example:
./sdm –action importData –startDate 09/25/2007 00:00:00 –endDate 09/
26/2007 00:00:00 -tableName Events –connectFile sdm.connect
