Is it possible to import multiple XML at once?

Hello!

Before a clone I export my update sets to xml, save them in a folder, then once the clone has happened import the xml one by one. This seems like a bit of a waste of time and that we are adding a human layer in here which could be prone to error.

Is there a way of automating this so it selects all my files from a folder or selecting multiple XML files to import so they run sequentially?

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately you would require something custom for this i.e. 

1) setting up of mid server

2) write mid server script include which will fetch the xml files and upload in the instance

3) have a code similar to the one of applying update set i.e. preview, commit etc

So I think best method would be a human intervention to avoid any errors

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

No problem, I was hoping there was an easier approach. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

what is the script that you used for the mid server?

Hi,

Unfortunately no; I didn't take a backup of that
