Issue/Introduction

Sometimes when running the IMPORT function in the IDEAL Source Transport Utility IDUTSTRN, some existing resources are deleted.

Is there a way to avoid the deletion of existing resources?

Environment

Release: 15.1

Resolution

When importing resources that already exists the action to be taken for duplicate resources is specified using the SET IMPORT DUPLICATE command. 

SET IMPORT DUPLICATE REPLACE will replace the old entity with the new one in TEST status. 

SET IMPORT DUPLICATE NEXT will keep the existing entity and create one with the next version. 

Additional Information

See the Datacom Tools 15.1 documentation section SET IMPORT DUPLICATE Command
