If you regularly transfer terms between different terminology databases, you might prefer to transfer the terms from the command line. The Term Transfer Tool is a simple standalone tool that you can use to import terms, export terms, and to create or restore a terminology database backup without logging into the Dashboard. Because the Term Transfer Tool is script-based, you can also integrate it with other automated processes in your organization. The Term Transfer Tool comes as a standalone package and is installed independently from the Acrolinx Platform. You must enable the Term Transfer Tool in your Acrolinx license before you can start using the tool. Contact Acrolinx to obtain a copy of the term transfer package and to enable the Term Transfer Tool in your license.
Additionally, ensure that your Acrolinx installation meets the following prerequisites before you get started with the tool:
-
If you want to use the Term Transfer Tool with Acrolinx Platform version 5.0 or later, you must have version 5.0 of the tool as well.
-
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 8 installed on your computer.
To use the Term Transfer Tool, you'll need the following privileges:
-
-

-

-
