NAME

rt-assets-import - import assets to rt

SYNOPSIS

rt-assets-import /path/to/assets.csv
rt-assets-import --update /path/to/assets.csv

DESCRIPTION

This script will import/update assets from a CSV into rt. See RT::Extension::Assets::Import::CSV for configuration.

OPTIONS

--config file or -c file

Provides an explicit extra configuration file which is loaded before any other configuration files. This is useful to provide per-import AssetsImportUniqueCF and AssetsImportFieldMapping settings if you are importing from multiple sources with differing columns. If this option is used, RT_SiteConfig.pm should not contain a setting for AssetsImportFieldMapping -- otherwise the two hashes will be merged, which will produce unexpected behavior.

--update

Without this option, existing assets (as determined by matching AssetsImportUniqueCF values) are left untouched. With this option provided, records will be updated based on their values in the CSV.

--insert

By default, assets without a AssetsImportUniqueCF values will produce a warning; with this flag, they will be inserted (generating their own id as needed) after all other operations.

--mdy, --dmy

Force RT to parse dates as mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy, respectively. In the absence of this option, RT will default to the DateDayBeforeMonth setting, which defaults to dd/mm/yy.

--debug

Provide verbose output to STDERR during the import.
