You might import objects from a previous Informatica release into the current Informatica release in an enterprise with multiple Informatica releases installed. For example, you might export objects from a previous Informatica release development domain, and then import the objects into a current Informatica release test domain.

You export objects from an Informatica 10.1 or 10.1.1 Model repository to an .xml file that contains the object metadata. You use the mrs UpgradeExportedObjects command to upgrade the exported objects to the current metadata format. You must specify the path and file name of the .xml file that contains the exported objects when you run the command.

Do not modify the .xml file before you run the mrs UpgradeExportedObjects command. If you modify the file before you run the command, the objects in the file might not upgrade successfully.

The mrs UpgradeExportedObjects command upgrades the objects, and then generates an .xml file containing the upgraded objects. You must specify the file name and path for the .xml file. You can import the .xml file into a current Informatica release repository.

The mrs UpgradeExportedObjects command requires access to an Informatica 10.2 Model Repository Service. You must supply the service name of an Informatica 10.2 Model Repository Service running within the domain when you run the command.
