Parameters:

  • site_id (Fixnum)

    Existing site to import assets into.

  • assets (Array[External::Asset])

    External assets to import.

Returns:

#import_scan(site_id, zip_file) ⇒ Fixnum

Import scan data into a site.

This method is designed to work with export_scan to migrate scan data from one console to another. This method will import the data as if run from a local scan engine.

Scan importing is restricted to only importing scans in chronological order. It assumes that it is the latest scan for a given site, and will abort if attempting to import an older scan.

Parameters:

  • site_id (Fixnum)

    Site ID of the site to import the scan into.

  • zip_file (String)

    Path to a previously exported scan archive.

Returns:

  • (Fixnum)

    The scan ID on success.
