sftImport
Author: Denamik
This utility can be used to import OSD (Softgrid Application) files into a Softgrid database (previously this was a manual process that required several steps and was easy to screw up). In fact, sftImport can even import multiple OSD's at once (i.e. an entire folder) or via a CSV file. This tool is great whether you manually configure your environments or whether you write configuration scripts.ReviewsEditClient
