Performing an incremental migrate from a plain file system

The ccm migrate -incremental command performs an incremental migrate from a plain file system location using a specified project as a reference. It produces an import package compressed file that might be imported later using the ccm import command.

-ch|-column_header
Specifies to use a column header in the output format. See -ch|-column_header for details.
directory_path
Specifies a client file system directory containing the data to be migrated.
-dt|-default_type default_type
Specifies the default Rational® Synergy type that is used if no mapping rules define the type of the object. If not specified, the default is ascii.
-f|-format format
Specifies the command output format. See -f|-format for details.
-gby|-groupby groupformat
Specifies how to group the command output. See -gby|-groupby for details.
-nch|-nocolumn_header
Specifies not to use a column header in the output format. See -nch|-nocolumn_header for details.
-nf|-noformat
Specifies not to use a column alignment. See -nf|-noformat for details.
-ns|-no_sort
Specifies not to sort the output. See -ns|-nosort for details.
-output compressedfile
Specifies the client path and name of the compressed file to be created containing the import package. The compressedfile must have a .zip suffix. If this option is not specified, a compressed file is created in the current working directory. The default name of the compressed file is constructed by using the name of the project, an underscore, and a date string in the form "YYYYMMDD." The YYYY is a four-digit year, MM is a two-digit month, and DD is a two-digit day.

If a file of that name exists, an additional underscore and a unique integer number are appended. For example, on 16th June 2010, the first default compressed file name for migrating a project named example would be example_20100616.zip. The second one performed on that date from the same project name would be example_20100616_1.zip.

project_spec
Specifies the project to be used as a reference and updated when the import package is imported. See Project specification for details.
-rules file_path
Specifies to use a mapping rule instead of the default rules.
-results results_file
Specifies a results file that contains the migrate preview results. If not specified, the preview results are written to the stdout stream.
-sep|-separator separator
Specifies a different separator character. See -sep|-separator for details.
-sby|-sortby sortspec
Specifies how to sort the command output. See -sby|-sortby for details.
-s|-sh|-show
Specifies that the objects contained in the import package are shown in the results file or the command output.
-task task_spec
Specifies the task that is associated with all of the directories and files created when the import package is imported. If not specified, the current task is used by default.
