ImportTask

Import a single task's JSON definitions provided in the request body into the requested server repository on the selected server.

The ImportTask method enables importing all valid JSON definitions provided in the request body.

This includes task settings, tables/table patterns (include/exclude), table settings and global transformations.

Information about endpoints is included if it was included in the JSON file.

When you import a task, Items that existed in the target server before the import and have no new JSON definition in the request body are not modified and not removed. This means that ImportTask provides no way of removing old definitions that are no longer needed.

Required User Role: See Required Enterprise Manager permissions.
