Unable to edit with BulkHandler on command line

[sorvani (Jared Busch)]

I am importing a large number of records and needing to reimport multiple times during the conversion process.

Because this conversions going to take a month or more of testing, I was planning to reimport via fwconsole bi.

But the reimport does nothing. I loaded the same file via the web GUI and and it did update.

Is there a switch for the bi command to let it update like the option in the GUI?

Use --replace.

[root@Andrews15 framework]# fwconsole bi --help

[root@freepbx ~]# fwconsole bi
  Not enough arguments (missing: "filename").
bulkimport [-t|--type TYPE] [--replace] [--] <filename>

are you using the --replace flag?

I was looking here and did not think to try --help
