BlPackage - importAndUpdateByDBKey
BlPackage - importAndUpdateByDBKey
Description :
This command imports a BLPackage, and uses that BLPackage to update the destination BLPackage. For information about the update process, see the introductory chapter Import and export concepts.
At the conclusion of the operation, this command deletes the source BLPackage in the database. Note that this command does not delete the directory structure and XML files used for the import. If you want to delete the directory structure and XML files from your file system, you must do this manually.
This command creates a temporary group at the root of the depot workspace, and uses that group to store the imported BLPackage. The temporary group is deleted at the end of the update operation. By default, the name of this temporary group is /importAndUpdate. You can change the name of the temporary group to whatever path you want, using the blasadmin command:
set ConfigManagerUI DefaultImportAndUpdateFolder /path/to/some/folder
Return type : void
