Add users from a flat file import

Use the EQCmd.exe utility to add, delete, modify and query user, department and billing code accounts from a flat file. You can also assign users and departments to billing codes. This method is a one-time import and does not synchronize data beyond the import.

Equitrac install this utility on the accounting server in the Program Files\Kofax\Equitrac\Tools folder.

The command-line utility accepts commands in the following format:

EQCmd  -s<Server> <Action> <Obj_type> <Obj_ID>|All   [<Options>]

Execute the command with a batch file:

EQCmd  -s<Server> -f<BatchFile> [-o<OutputFile>]

The OutputFile parameter is an optional parameter which specifies where to output a trace file. If not specified, then EQCmd will attempt to write the output file to the same folder where the batch file exists, using the same name as the batch file, but adding the .log extension. If the trace file cannot be opened, the utility will log a warning to the console screen and proceed with the batch file, writing all messages to the console.

Equitrac accepts CSV files as batch files. Batch operation allows all the command actions except for the "query" command. Use the following table to fill in the parameters.

Parameters enclosed in parentheses < > are mandatory; parameters within square brackets [ ] are optional.
