[API] Import a system Tree from text file

[ePoMaster]

Hello

I get a 400 bad Request erro while trying to import a system tree through the API. Everything works fine if I import a group or syste individually but not a file.

Here is my command:

curl -k -u username:passwd "https://server:8443/remote/system.importSystem?names=C:\temp/mcafee_epo/SystemTree.txt&branchNodeID=2"

I suppose it's a syntax problem but I can't put the finger on where the problem is...

Thanks for any help!

Hello @ePoMaster 

Thanks for your post.

See attached web api guide.  There are some examples

Hello Vivs,

Thanks but I think I start to know this document ^^. Do you refer to the page 17 of it?
I don't see any example...

If you run https://localhost:8443/remote/core.help?command=system.importSystem, you will get these results - see if that helps clear up any syntax issues.

Sorry but that doesn't help either as there is no real syntax example for importing a file.
Is it a problem about the path? Did I forget a /?
Thanks.

Try putting in correct path - you have slashes going 2 different ways:

C:\temp/mcafee_epo/SystemTree.txt
