  • best would be to make csv or do i need to import/ sync each session individually?
  • if use csv can i somehow in csv to tell what is the type of session and where each session need to be in matter of folders ?
  • if csv possible can you share struct of csv, sample how csv should look like ?
  • how importer will handle duplicates ? Can i control it somehow ? (if duplicated can just update its property ?)
  • if csv is not possible can you please advice me what ps command from your ps module to use to archive all steps above ?
  • if csv not possible is it possible to create folder struct from ps commands ?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching us out on that matter.

What data source type are you connected to?

Here are the answer to your questions.

  • If you have the ability to create a CSV file, RDM handles the import of CSV files.
  • In the article mentioned above, you can specify the entry type in the ConnectionType column and the destination folder in the Group column.
  • I have attached a CSV file sample in this post.
  • With a CSV file, we can read the CSV file in PowerShell and create the entries individually using the New-RDMSession cmdlet. We need to properly set the permissions and then save the entry with Set-RDMSession cmdlet.
  • The folder structure can be created in PowerShell using the New-RDMSession cmdlet. The Type must be set to Group value and for a subfolder, we need to specify the whole path in the -Group parameter.
$session = New-RDMSession -Name 'MyFolder' -Type Group -Group 'MyFolder'
$session = New-RDMSession -Name 'MySubFolder' -Type Group -Group 'MyFolder\MySubFolder'
  • Following the New-RDMSession that returns a PSConnection object, to have the session saved and available in RDM, we must use the Set-RDMSession to save it combined with the -Refresh switch.
Set-RDMSession $session - Refresh


Let us know if you have further questions about this.
