importPolicyTemplates

Use the importPolicyTemplates command to import the policy templates contained in a previously created export file. The policy templates to import are taken from the file provided by the -i parameter, or from stdin if no such file is specified.

By default, this command replaces all existing templates that are older than the imported templates.

Command syntax

btmcli importPolicyTemplates [-i inputFile]
                      [-replace ALL | all | NEWER | newer | NONE | none]
                      [-v] -s sphereUrl -l username:password

NEWER: replace existing policies that are older than imported policy templates. (Default.) NONE: do not replace any existing policy templates.
-v	-verbose	Display more detailed information about command execution.
-s	-sphereUrl	The URL of the sphere. http://hostname:port/btmcentral/sphere/ This flag is not required if you have set the AP_SPHERE_URL environment variable for your sphere.
