The following parameters are optional:

-url <URL>
-password <Password>
-report <Report>
- ignorePpmVersionDifference

If you add this parameter in the command line, when a difference of PPM version is detected, PPM continues to import the entity and records the version difference in the execution log. Use with caution as this parameter can be used only when the entity to be imported has no significant data model changes between versions.
