Type Import

Paritech.Authority.Control Type Import <Service>

Defines multiple Asset Types by importing from a file or STDIN.

Arguments

Field	Description
Service	The Authority Service to connect to.

Available Options

Option	Description
-Cols <Columns>	A comma-separated list of column names. Defaults to code.
-Enc <Encoding>	Input encoding. One of ASCII, UTF8 (default).
-File <FileName>	Read from the given file
-Format <Format>	Input data format. One of CSV (default), TSV, JSON.
-Header	The input CSV data does contain a header line. With -Cols, specify to skip the header.
-NoHeader	The input CSV data does not contain a header line.
-Stdin	Read from STDIN. Default.

Note

CSV (or TSV) is the recommended when importing basic Asset Types with limited or no context data.

JSON is recommended when more complex sets of context are being provided, or when empty strings need to be provided (these are ignored in CSV).

When using the CSV format, Type and Code determine the To Asset. Subsequent columns provide context information based on the column header. Empty values are ignored.

• M:<Key>: Adds a Metadata value to the Asset Type.

When using the JSON format, each line is interpreted as a JSON serialised AssetType.

Caution

Do not provide a JSON array of AssetType objects. Each record should be separated by a newline.

Output

The process result will be 0 on success, and a negative value on failure.
