You import valid objects into the repository. The PowerCenter Client validates each object in the XML file to ensure that it conforms to the PowerCenter specifications for that object. For example, a mapplet cannot contain a target definition.

In addition, the PowerCenter Client validates objects with CRCVALUE codes to ensure that certain elements and attributes of Designer objects in the XML file have not been modified. The CRCVALUE code determines whether or not you can modify certain elements and attributes.

The PowerCenter Client does not import objects with CRCVALUE codes that have been modified nor objects that do not conform to PowerCenter specifications.
