TM Update: How to update a tm whit the batch task [UpdateMainTranslationMemory]

Question

Hi, 
 I would like to update a sdltm file with a sdlxliff file, i knew there is aleary a method which can import tmx or sdlxliff file to the existing tm, but i found that there is a batch task api which called UpdateMainTranslationMemory. how can i only use bilingual file to update a existing tm through the task? 
 Best regards, 
 Bradley

Dear Bradley, 
 
The sue of a batch task requires that you have a project. Without project, you cannot use the batch task. 
 
Why not using the function to import SDLXLIFF files in your TM directly, as you suggested in your original post? It is probably the most straightforward way of accomplishing this. 
 
regards,

Hi Laurent 
Appreciate your help, now i realize the method of import bilingual files is the best way to update a existing tm file without a project. and i will keep my original idea, thank you.
