Import/Export tool Command line syntax for R2

[Former Member]

Would anyone please advise the syntax of command line import/export tool for XIR2?

Read this post below for importing from a biar file but not sure how to export from BO into a biar file.

We're in fact trying to migrate from R2 into R3. The import wizard provided by BO doesn't work well with favorites and inboxes migration due to the large volume of data we need to migrate, hence looking for alternatives.

Any advice around this line would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Denis,

Thanks for your reply. This at least saved my effort to explore further.

Would you offer any advice for migrating large volume of personal folders from R2 into R3?

We're integrating with AD, so everytime listing users for selection taking ages and often times out.

Even if we managed to export the biar file for a group of users, exporting them into R3 fails quite often as well.

The whole process is simply very unpredictable and unreliable.

Thanks.

GM

You can use Import Wizard directly or IW to biar, but export smaller chanks of info.

If you're moving users and their personal docs and your users are all AD users, then make sure their Groups are not mapped yet in XI3.1.

On 3.1 just setup AD, but do not map any groups yet. Let Import Wizard import them and if AD is the same as in R2 - import will be succesfull.

You need to look at each failure and investigate what happend.

I find Import Wizard and biar functionality quite reliable and predictable.

In XIR2 it's impossible to use command line to expot to BIAR, you have to use Import Wizard.
