Import Metadata Script¶

To import the Data Catalog’s metadata you can use the import script located in the folder <DENODO_HOME>/tools/data-catalog.

Usage

import -h <host> -p <port> -l <login> [ -P <password> ] [ -s <Virtual DataPort server name> ]
       -f <input file>
       [ -override ]
       [ -https ]
       [ -mp <encryption password> ]

Parameters of the `import` script¶
Parameter Name	Description
?	Shows the help.
-h	Hostname or IP address of the Data Catalog
-p	Port of the Data Catalog. By default it is 9090
-l	Login to connect to the Data Catalog
-P	Password to connect to the Data Catalog
-s	Name of the Virtual DataPort server used for authentication. You have to specify this if there is more than one server registered in the Data Catalog. Otherwise, it is optional.
-f	Input file
-override	Add this to override the Data Catalog metadata and configuration parameters.
-https	Option to connect with a SSL/TLS channel
-mp, --metadata-password	Custom password used for sensitive data encryption

You can encrypt both passwords using the script <DENODO_HOME>/bin/encrypt_password. That way you can avoid entering them in plain text. If the password is encrypted, prefix it with encrypted:. E.g. -P encrypted:xd7o6/xZuNwWvg1YGNuz9g==.

Example

import -h localhost -p 9090 -l jsmith -P encrypted:xxxxxxx -f data_catalog_metadata.zip -override -mp encrypted:yyyyyyy
