If you regularly transfer terms between different terminology databases, you might prefer to transfer the terms from the command line. You can use the Term Transfer Tool to import terms, export terms, and to create or restore terminology database backups.
The Term Transfer Tool comes as a standalone package and is installed independently from the Acrolinx Platform. It's script-based, which means you can also integrate it with other automated processes in your organization. Before you can use the tool, you'll need to enable the Term Transfer Tool in your Acrolinx license. Contact Acrolinx to get started.
The Term Transfer Tool requires the following:
-
At least one saved import or export configuration before you can export or import terms. You create a saved import or export configuration by when you import or export terms in the Dashboard.
-
If you use the Oracle JDK (Java Development Kit), you need to have Java installed on your computer. To learn which Java version you need, read Install the Term Transfer Tool
