Use the Import Model wizard to import models into a Metadata Manager repository. When you import a model, you select the XML or .zip file that contains models and select the models you want to import.
The Import Model wizard analyzes and validates the file that you select. If the model does not exist in the Metadata Manager repository, Metadata Manager imports the entire model. If the model exists, Metadata Manager imports the new and changed classes and relationships. If the model in the file matches the model in the Metadata Manager repository, Metadata Manager does not import the model.
You cannot import a Business Glossary model in Metadata Manager. To import business glossary assets and templates, use the Analyst tool.
