How to import multiple spaces with a sleep value using Confluence Command Line Interface app (CLI)

This article explains how to import multiple spaces with a sleep value using the Confluence Command Line Interface app (CLI). 

Instructions

Follow the below steps to import large spaces:

1. Combine runFromList with the --list parameter, and restoreExport to import multiple spaces. 
   

   Here, we have used the system -a sleep value 5 to wait for a defined time and then start restoring the next space.zip files.

   -a runFromList --list "aaa.zip,bbb.zip" -i "-a restoreExport -f @entry@" -i "system -a sleep value 5"

   
   Please refer to the below example where we have restored the spaces from this  import files spacemk1.zip and spacemk2.zip.
   

   -a runFromList --list "spacemk1.zip,spacemk2.zip" -i "-a restoreExport -f @entry@" -i "system -a sleep --value 5"

   
   The Parameters used above are. 

   
   --list  input the filename of the exported space you want to restore.
   --value specify the time value in seconds.
