Importing Objects

You can import objects from a valid XML file. The XML file must comply with powrmart.dtd. You can import objects that you exported from the same repository or a different repository.

When you import an object, the PowerCenter Client performs the following tasks:

Validates the XML file against powrmart.dtd.

Parses the XML file.

Validates the objects in the XML file.

Creates the objects in the repository.

When you import an object in the Designer, Workflow Manager, or Repository Manager, the Import Wizard appears. When you import using pmrep
, you use a control file to specify the same import options in the Import Wizard.

You can complete the following actions in the Import Wizard:

Choose the XML file.

Choose which objects to import.
You can choose all or some objects listed in the XML file. If the XML file contains both Designer and Workflow Manager objects, the Import Wizard shows Designer objects when you use the Designer, and Workflow Manager objects when you use the Workflow Manager. You can import all object types using the Repository Manager.

Match folders.
When you use the Repository Manager to import, you can match folders listed in the XML file with folders in the destination repository.

Check in the objects and apply a label.
When you use the Repository Manager to import objects into a versioned repository, you can check in the objects after you import them. You can enter check in comments in the Import Wizard. If you check in the objects, you can apply a label to them. Choose an existing label or create a new one.

Resolve object conflicts.
When you import an object into a folder that contains an object with the same name, you can choose to rename, replace, or reuse the object.
