Importing user definitions from another source

If you already have user names, passwords, and descriptions defined in another program, you can import this information directly into the administration control database and bypass creating these users in the Mobile Devices Administration Center. The user import tool that allows you to import users accepts any comma-delimited file exported in DB2 UDB DEL format.

To use the tool to import multiple users

  1. Open the MS-DOS command line.

  2. Enter the following command, replacing parm with zero or more of the parameters listed below, and replacing filename with the fully qualified name of the comma-delimited file containing the users to import.
    DSYImportUsers.bat -parm 1...-parm n filename
    

    The program parameters are:

    commit
    Commit each successful insert and do not roll back if an error occurs.

    exception
    Display exceptions.

    fail
    Display failed imports only.

    group name
    Specifies that you want to assign users to a group and provides the name of the group.

The format of the comma-delimited file is:

username, password, description

Username is required. Password and description are optional. For example, importing the comma-delimited file myfile.del without passwords into group admins would use the following command:

Comma-delimited file myfile.del with contents:
	jack,,System Administrator Jack Smith
	john,,
	jane,,Weekend System Administrator Jane Doe
 
Import command:
	DSYImportUsers.bat -group admins myfile.del
