Import Job Parameters

Enter the job parameters when you import accelerators, custom product family versions, or entities.

The import job includes the following parameters:

Commit after Each File: Determines when the database transaction is committed if you import multiple files.

Enable to commit after each file is imported. The commit occurs if the file is imported successfully and is independent of other files. For example, if you import ten files and there was an error with one of the files, then nine files are imported.

Disable to commit after all of the files are imported. The commit occurs if all of the files are imported successfully. If an error occurs with one of the files, no files are committed. For example, if you import ten files and there was an error with one of the files, then no files are imported.

You cannot select this option if you use the enhanced import option.
Continue Processing on Error: Determines whether the system continues to process multiple files if there is an error with one of the files.

Enable to process files subsequent to the file that has the error. For example, you import ten files. An error occurred for the sixth file. The job ignores the sixth file and continues with the rest of the files.

Disable to stop processing the files subsequent to the file that has the error. For example, you import ten files. An error occurred for the sixth file. The job does not process the rest of the files.
Enhanced Import: Enables enhanced import of entities and custom PFV's. If you used enhanced export to export the custom PFV or entity, select this option to enable enhanced import. Use enhanced import when you import to an existing environment that contains any PFV's/entities. You do not need to use enhanced export and import if you plan to import the PFV or entity to a new environment without any existing PFV's.
Update Existing Entities: Imports the existing entities in the custom PFV or entity. The import job updates any metadata changes to all of the entities in the custom PFV or the single entity you are importing. If entity is not implemented in any project definition, the job deletes all of the entity steps and tables in each entity and then reinserts them. If the entity is implemented in a project definition, the job ignores the entity.
