XINA Tunnel/Import laptop

The XINA Tunnel/Import laptop is used for importing data into XINA. It's a NASA managed machine on the SLE network with a firewall rule allowing it to access the DraMS XINA instance via the XINA Tunnel.

The XINA Tunnel and XINA Import apps are both being run using the CLI apps. Batch scripts used to run both are located in the C:/Users/gsfcdragonfly/ directory. Each batch script should be executed in its own terminal window:

.\xina-drams-tunnel.bat

.\xina-drams-import.bat
