Use the Command Line Interface feature to Import Sites .
To import Sites,
-
Go to Accessing the Command Line Interface if you have not already done so. At the command line, you must enter the command to import sites. For example: importSites <network name> inputfile
-
Now, enter the appropriate command to import Sites. Make sure the format and syntax is exactly as shown in the following example.
cmd >importSites <network name> inputfile
Notes:
-
First parameter: <network name> is a valid network name already existing in VoyencControl NG If the network name contains any spaces or other special characters, you must enclose the name using double quotes ( "). For example, if the network name is Network A, then the network name would appear as "Network A".
-
The input file names should be quoted only if the file name has special characters - this applies to various commands.
-
Second Parameter : inputfile is a comma separated file. The following table describes sample content.
-
The first two columns (designated with an *) are mandatory.
-
The third example below, shows a way to create a sub-site. If you already had a site named Site A, you can add sub sites using this syntax SiteA%SiteB, where SiteB is the sub-site
*Use the horizontal scroll bar to view all the columns within the table.
