SYNTAX

Import-JS7InventoryItem [-FilePath] <String> [[-Format] <String>] [[-TargetFolder] <String>] [[-Prefix] <String>] [[-Suffix] <String>] [-Overwrite] [[-AuditComment] <String>] [[-AuditTimeSpent] <Int32>] [[-AuditTicketLink] <Uri>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

JOC Cockpit inventory items can be exported with the Export-JS7InventoryItem cmdlet. The archive file
created by the cmdlet can be imported by use of this cmdlet. This offers a mechanism to backup and to
restore inventory data, e.g. in case of switching the DBMS for JOC Cockpit or when upgrading to newer
JS7 releases.

Consider that this cmdlet requires PowerShell version 6.0 or newer.

The following REST Web Service API resources are used:
