Hello and welcome,

From this one

(Unauthorized) not authorized on test to execute command { insert: “products”, ordered: false, writeConcern: { w: “majority” }, $db: “test” }

Seems it is trying to run it on $db:"test"

So probably the --db applicationData is missed ?

If not, please include the full connection string.

edit hoping it will help a bit further, a small break down of mongoimport is included below:

  • imports csv or json files
  • useful options
    • --db=<dbname> selects a database
    • --collection=<collectionName> selects a collection inside <dbname>
    • --file=<file> what are we importing (normally file.json).
    • --drop useful when we are replacing an existing collection.

If --collection isnt there, it creates one using the file basename. So file.json would produce dbname.file. If --dbname isn’t there you’ll see test.file namespace.
