The import utility is a command

Windows
operating system
.
The import utility must be executed by a user that
has OS

level Administrative
privileges
, and ideally be the same user that installed the Insight
S
oftware
on the target CMS. In addition, if Insight Dynamics Globa

must also have SQL Server administrative rights to the database.
The i
mport

-
line (CLI) command is
:
mximport [

the password to be passed in on the command line for n

If

f c:
\
export
.zip
–
p
somepassword
In the example, the export archive file is read from the root directory of the
C

ve and is called
export.zip
.
Since the password was provided, the user
will not be prompted for the
