importsitestandards

The importsitestandard utility enables you to do the following:

• After you have completed exportsitestandards, you can perform a mass update on multiple Site Standards, where you can add/update a Site Standard rule in a large number of existing Site Standards, and import them into Control-M.

• Import one or multiple Site Standards from one environment to another, between two environments on different Control-M/Enterprise Managers.

• If you are importing Site Standards that already exist in the database, you can use the overwrite flag in the utility command. In this case, the existing Site Standards are replaced. If you do not use the overwrite flag, only new Site Standards are imported.
