Input_Merge = "REPLACE"
Input_DatabasePath = "C:\\Program Files\\WMX\\Database\\wmx.jtc"
Input_Repository_Name = "WMXRepository"

# Process: Import Job Data
arcpy.ImportJobData_WMX(Input_File, Input_Merge, Input_DatabasePath, Input_Repository_Name)
ImportJobData example 2 (stand-alone Python script)

Import the configuration, with job information, of a workflow manager repository, merging the contents of the .jxl file with the existing contents of the repository.

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy
