XINA Import

XINA Import is a utility for importing XINA API actions as JSON files. This application is distributed as a Java jar file and requires Java 17 or greater to run. The recommended OpenJDK build is available here.

Latest Version

XINA Import 10.1.0

Download

Windows

 java -jar "path to xina_import.jar" ^
      [additional arguments...]

MacOS, Linux

 java -jar "path to xina_import.jar" \
      [additional arguments...]
Argument Info Default
-host <hostname> the XINA Tunnel host "localhost"
-post <port> the XINA Tunnel port 41746
-okmove <path> if set, move files to path to after successful import none (files are not moved)
-oktrash if set, move files to OS trash after successful import false
-okdelete if set, permanently delete files after successful import false
-ermove if set, move files to path to after failed import none (errors stop import)
-dir <path> path to directory containing files to import
-watch <path> path to directory to watch for files to import
-recursive if true in dir or watch mode, searches directory recursively for JSON files false

XINA Import has three modes of operation:

File List

JSON files can be listed explicitly. They will be imported in the specified order.

 java -jar "path to xina_import.jar" \
      "path to JSON file" \
      "path to JSON file"...

Directory

If the -dir argument is used, XINA Import will attempt to import all *.json files in the specified directory in alphanumeric order.

Note: the directory is now queried after each imported file, so at one of -okmove, -oktrash, or -okdelete must be specified in this mode, or the same file would be imported repeatedly in an infinite loop.

 java -jar "path to xina_import.jar" \
      -dir "path to directory" \
      -okmove "path to different directory"

Watch

If the -watch argument is used, XINA Import will attempt to import all *.json files in the specified directory in alphanumeric order. Once complete, the directory is watched for any new JSON files, which are imported as they become available. As with directory mode, a -ok* argument is required to prevent the same file from being imported repeatedly.

 java -jar "path to xina_import.jar" \
      -watch "path to directory" \
      -okmove "path to different directory"

Usage

Windows

 java -Dlog4j.configurationFile="path to log4j2.xml" ^
      -jar "path to xina_import.jar" ^
      [additional arguments...]

MacOS, Linux

 java -Dlog4j.configurationFile="path to log4j2.xml" \
      -jar "path to xina_import.jar" \
      [additional arguments...]
Argument Info Default
-host <hostname> the XINA Tunnel host "localhost"
-post <port> the XINA Tunnel port 41746
-movejson <path> directory to move JSON files to after import none (files are not moved)
-movefile <path> directory to move other files to after import none (files are not moved)
-deljson if set, permanently delete JSON files after import false
-delfile if set, permanently delete other files after import false
-dir <path> path to directory containing files to import
-watch <path> path to directory to watch for files to import
-recursive if true in dir or watch mode, searches directory recursively for JSON files false

XINA Import has three modes of operation:

File List

JSON files can be listed explicitly. They will be imported in the specified order.

 java -jar "path to xina_import.jar" \
      "path to JSON file" \
      "path to JSON file"...

Directory

If the -dir argument is used, XINA Import will attempt to import all *.json files in the specified directory in alphabetical order. It is recommended to include -movejson or -deljson to track progress, in case the import is interrupted.

 java -jar "path to xina_import.jar" \
      -dir "path to directory" \
      -movejson "path to different directory"

Watch

If the -watch argument is used, XINA Import will attempt to import all *.json files in the specified directory in alphabetical order. Once complete, the directory is watched for any new JSON files, which are imported as they become available. It is required to include -movejson or -deljson, as otherwise files would be continuously re-imported.

 java -jar "path to xina_import.jar" \
      -watch "path to directory" \
      -movejson "path to different directory"
