Command-Line Processing for Imported Terms :: SAS® Business Data Network 3.2: User's Guide

Overview

The installation of SAS Business Data Network includes a command-line application that you can use to rebuild lineage after an import. You should do this if you import XML or CSV terms without importing the relationships for the terms at the same time. Disabling relationship importing improves the performance of importing terms. The tool name for Windows is UpdateRelationships.exe. For UNIX, the tool name is UpdateRelationships.

The command-line application executables are installed in the following location: SASHome\SASBusinessDataNetworkMidtier\3.2\tools.
