Below is an example of how to call the import application correctly.

Username and Password

 

If Continua CI is configured to use forms authentication then a username and password are required to connect to Continua CI. These credentials should match a Continua administrator.

This is also the case when Continua CI is notconfigured to use mixed authentication and you want to run the import as a standard login user.

If Continua CI is configured to use LDAP authentication then no username or password is required. The import tool will instead use the current Windows user configured to work with LDAP and Active Directory then the following 2 parameters are required to connect to Continua CI. Note that to run the import tool the current user must be a Continua administrator.

 

/username: This must match an administrator user that has already been created in the Continua CI environment. This includes can be the intial initial install user that is created when you setup Continua CI.

/password: The password that matches the user specified in /username.

 

If Continua CI is configured to work with LDAP and Active Directory then no username or password is required. The import tool will instead use the current Windows user to connect to Continua CI.

Optional Parameters

/fbsprojectfolder: This parameter specifies the path where your final builder server data is saved.

  • By default, the Final Builder Server installer sets the project directory to  "<Program Data>\Vsoft\FBServer7. (Note that the <ProgramData> folder differs depending on the version of windows. For Windows 7 users this folder is C:\ProgramData\VSoft\FBServer7" and this is the directory that is used if /fbsprojectfolder is not specified. This ). This directory will need to be set if you modified the install path when installing Final Builder Server.
  • No individual file needs to be specified, just the folder itself. 
  • When specifying the folder, do not use quotes.
  • The project folder should contain the files as shown in the folder image below. 

/logpath: While the import is running, a log will be generated that logs which aspects of Final Builder Server imported correctly into Continua CI and will also identify any errors that may have occurred during the import.

...

/hostname: This parameter sets the name of the computer that is hosting the Continua CI server service.

  • If no /hostname is specified then "localhost" will be used.
  • Do not pass the port number through the /hostname parameter. Instead use the /port parameter.

/port: This parameter sets the port number that will be used to connect to the Continua CI server service.

  • By default, Continua CI's server port is set to 9000.
  • If the /port parameter is no specified then 9000 is passed to the Continua CI service.

/defaultPassword: For security reasons, Continua CI is unable to import passwords from Final Builder Server to Continua CI. This means that a default password needs to be used as a placeholder for all objects being password fields that are created in Continua CI that require a password.

  • If no /defaultPassword is provided then the default passwords will be set to "Temp123"
  • When specifying the default password, make sure it is a minimum 6 characters, contains at least 1 letter and at least 1 upper and lower case letter.
