# Import-RDMRepository

### Synopsis

Import vaults contained in a rdx file in the current workspace.

### Syntax

#### \_\_AllParameterSets

```
Import-RDMRepository [-Path] <string> [-Password <securestring>] [-Duplicate <DuplicateAction>]
 [-KeepID] [-ForcePromptAnswer <DialogResult[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

### Description

Import vaults contained in a rdx file in the current workspace. If the file is protected, the parameter Password must be used to unlock the data contained. By default, all entries will have their ID changed. This is to avoid unwanted behaviors, such as moving an entry if imported in the same database. The Duplicate parameter indicates the action (ignore, overwrite, add) to apply in presence of duplicated entries. A limitation of the command is the inability to map the imported vaults to a specific one. Each vault will be assigned to an existing one with the same ID or the same name, or a new one if none are found. This command is only available to administrators on advanced workspaces. Because an application identity on a Devolutions Cloud workspace cannot hold administrator privileges, its capabilities are more restricted. It must have the appropriate rights (Add Entries, Create Vault).

### Examples

#### Example 1

```powershell
PS C:\> $pwd = Read-Host -AsSecureString;
    Import-RDMRepository -Path myFile.rdx -Password $pwd
```

Import all vaults in 'myFile.rdx'. The protected file is unlocked with the parameter $pwd.

#### Example 2

```powershell
PS C:\> $filePath = 'C:\my\path\filename.rdx';
    Export-RDMRepository -Name VaultA, VaultB, VaultC -Path $path -IncludeAttachments -IncludeCredentials -IncludeDocumentation;
    Get-RDMDataSource -Name AnotherOne | Set-RDMCurrentDataSource;
    Import-RDMSession -Path myFile.rdx -KeepID -Duplicate IgnoreAll
```

Export VaultA, VaultB, and VaultC of the current workspace in the file specified by $path. Change the current workspace to 'AnotherOne' and import all vaults recently exported. With the KeepID switch present, all imported entries will keep their ID. As long as the new workspace does not use the same database, no unexpected behaviors will happen.

### Parameters

#### -Duplicate

Action to apply to the imported entries in case of a duplicate. If the KeepID switch is not present, no duplicate will be found. By default, all duplicates will be ignored.

HelpMessage: ''
```

#### -ForcePromptAnswer

Switch to use with caution. It will automatically answer prompt asking yes/no, yes/no/cancel, or ok/cancel questions. In case of multiple prompts, multiple values can be passed to this parameter. Here are the accepted values:

  ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false
  ValueFromRemainingArguments: false

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell/powershell-commands/import-rdmrepository.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
