Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Tom Barton <>]

There is, but it may take a thorough reading of 
<https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/GrouperWG/Import-Export>. 
And, depending on exactly how you will proceed, you might need to use a 
non-default import.properties file. The default is buried in the source 
at src/grouper/edu/internet2/middleware/grouper/import.properties. Copy 
it to wherever you run your xml.import ant task and modify it as needed.

Alternatively, you could do a quick and dirty conversion from flatfile 
to grouper shell commands that you give to gsh in batch. See 
<https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/GrouperWG/GrouperShell+%28gsh%29>.

And Chris is working on a contributed loader, but it's not in finished form.
