Import/Export provides IMPORT, LIST, EXPORT, and DELETE operations for supported portal entities.
Adds the entities defined in the specified XML file(s) to the portal database. If the specified entities are already present – determined by Id, Name, or other primary key, as appropriate – this operation will update the existing entity to match the information provided in the XML.

ant >ant crndata-import -Ddir={path-to-directory} [-Dpattern={regex}]

| Note |
|---|
| title | The -Dpattern Argument |
|---|
|
Regex special characters overlap heavily with OS/Shell special characters. It's often better to avoid the -Dpattern argument altogether. You can always place desired files into a new directory for import. |
| Code Block |
|---|
|
ant data-import -Dfile={path-to-file}
|
Where path-to-file is a file system path, absolute or relative, containing uPortal Import/Export XML file.
List
Lists the data types the portal knows how to import/export/delete and can list all of the data currently in the database for a specific type.

| Warning |

|
The DELETE feature should be used with extreme caution and is more appropriate for DEV and TEST portals than for PROD. It is possible to make your portal unusable by deleting the wrong thing. |
