Performing a Bulk Import

The following steps outline how you could perform a bulk import.

  1. Run the MFDAS CAT command to obtain a list of data sets matching a filter and pipe the output to a file. For example:
    MFDAS CAT mfi01.test.c*> datasets.txt
  2. Create a batch file to run the MFDAS IMPORT command for each entry in the data set list file. For example:
    FOR /F %%A IN (datasets.txt) DO MFDAS IMPORT "<catalogfolder>\data\*.*" FROM AUTO %%A /CATLOC=c:\proj\catalog.dat
