Is it possible to import multiple XML at once?

[Dan51]

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,

What I do is to merge the files into one usin my laptop by using a simple script. Then I upload this single XML file with all the data.

It works to me.

Here is the script I use (updated feb 2024):

#!/bin/sh

#Sample use: ./xmlmerge.sh './*.xml' > tot.xml

files=($1) # create array with files

first=${files[0]} # get the 1st element of the array

head -n 2 $first # get 2 lines from process the 1st element

for file in "${files[@]}"; do

tail -n +3 $file | grep -v '</unload>'

done

echo '</unload>'

We have multiple data XML exports, there has to be a better way to do a MASS import.
