The Java Program ImportDataless can be used to import a dataless volume into INV. The dataless is parsed and a stations and instrumentation information is stored in the INV database.

This program is currently only a command line tool. If this tool is useful to you, and you would like us to develop a GUI version of this, please let us know.

Usage: ImportDataless username password [SEEDfile(data/input.seed) digitizerEquipmentType digitizerManufacturer digitizerSerialNo digitizerAgency sensorEquipmentType sensorManufacturer sensorSerialNo sensorAgency]

The username and password must be supplied in order for this tool to connect to the INV (mysql) database. at this time this tool expects that the INV database be hosted on the same machine that you are operating on.

if you do not specify the name of the dataless volume, the program will attempt to load the file "data/input.seed". It is suggested that you supply the dataless seed file name.

The fields "digitizerEquipmentType digitizerManufacturer digitizerSerialNo digitizerAgency sensorEquipmentType sensorManufacturer sensorSerialNo sensorAgency" are values that the database should know about, but are not stored anywhere in the dataless volume. Therefore you should supply this information to the loading program on the command line. If you do not, dummy values will be chosen for you, and you will need to correct them later. You really should try to provide this information now so that you don't need to think about this again later.

Please Note: The dataless import tool only imports the most recent configuration at this time. IF you need the tool to import all configuration, please contact us and we can discuss ways to help you move forward with your dataless import into INV.
