Importing Building Blocks
To import a Building Block using a command line, run the wmc.exe from the command line using the parameters /action=importbb and /file=<path\filename>. If Ivanti Automation authentication is used, also provide the parameters /user and /password. The credentials must have Read/Modify permissions on the Library and the Topology nodes. Optionally, use /silent to suppresses any messages.
The option to create import folders for the Building Block items during the import process is not supported for unattended Building Block imports.
