Import .rdm file into Devolutions Hub Business

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to import the content of an .rdm file into a Hub Business environment using PowerShell. You can use the Import-RDMEntry cmdlet , which supports both .rdm and .json files.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions, or let us know if you would like a step-by-step example.

Hello Maxime,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Do you perhaps have an example script?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello Maxime,

I have created the following script:

$ds = Get-RDMDataSource -Name "Devolutions Hub Business"

$repository = Get-RDMRepository -Name ",Vault name>" ;Set-RDMCurrentRepository $repository

Import-RDMEntry -Path "<Path>\<FileName>.rdm"

Is this the correct way?

Kind regards,

Hello Ron,

Your script is on the right track, but there are a few things to fix:

• Missing Set-RDMCurrentDataSource: After retrieving the data source, you need to actually activate it. Without this call, all subsequent commands run against whatever data source was already active.
• Missing validation: After setting the data source and vault, it is good practice to verify they are correctly active before proceeding. This prevents silently importing into the wrong location.
• Import-RDMEntry missing -Set: Without -Set, the documents and attachments will not be included.

Here is the corrected script:

  $desiredDataSourceName = "Devolutions Hub Business"
  $desiredVaultName      = "<Vault name>"

  # 1. Get and activate the data source
  $ds = Get-RDMDataSource -Name $desiredDataSourceName
  Set-RDMCurrentDataSource $ds

  # 2. Validate the active data source
  $currentDs = Get-RDMCurrentDataSource
  if ($currentDs.Name -ne $desiredDataSourceName) {
      Write-Error "Data source mismatch: expected '$desiredDataSourceName', got '$($currentDs.Name)'. Aborting."
      exit 1
  }

  # 3. Get and activate the vault
  $repository = Get-RDMRepository -Name $desiredVaultName
  Set-RDMCurrentRepository $repository

  # 4. Validate the active vault
  $currentRepo = Get-RDMCurrentRepository
  if ($currentRepo.Name -ne $desiredVaultName) {
      Write-Error "Vault mismatch: expected '$desiredVaultName', got '$($currentRepo.Name)'. Aborting."
      exit 1
  }

  # 5. Import entries
  $importedEntries = Import-RDMEntry -Path "<Path>\<FileName>.rdm" -Set
  Write-Host "Imported $($importedEntries.Count) entries."

This script has been tested and works correctly. Just replace <Vault name>, <Path>, and <FileName> with your actual values.
