Using the Process Importer tool

This section describes the Process Importer tool.

The Application Engine Process Editor offers functions for importing processes to a repository, but these functions enable only a manual import. The Process Importer is a command line tool that can be used to automatically import processes.

Note: The Process Importer tool requires a farm with at least Configuration Service, Repository Service and Application Engine Service running.

The executable file of the Process Executor tool, Infor.BI.Applications.ProcessImporter.exe, is installed with Application Studio.

This table shows the command line options that can be used with the tool:
