Here you select the export file (created with the Export function
of the Design Explorer view) or the file produced
by the Pacbase batch
migration procedures. You specify the location into which the instances
contained in this file are to be imported.
- File extension
- Select the file extension. There are two possible extensions:
- The ta2 extension corresponds to a file
produced by the Pacbase batch
migration procedures.
Note: From Rational Programming Patterns V9.0.1, the
Pacbase version number is included in the .ta2 file.
If the version in this file is not compatible with the current version
of Rational Programing Patterns, the import is not run and an error
is generated. The control does not go down to the subversion level
(Y09A for example).
- The xmi extension corresponds to a file
exported with the Export function of the Design
Explorer view. With this extension, you can select the
instances to be imported in the second page of the wizard, which then
becomes available.
- From file
- Click Browse to locate the export file
or the file produced by the Pacbase batch procedures.
- Into location
- You can select one of the locations that already exist in the Design
Explorer view.
You can also enter a location that does
not exist; it will be created by the import.
- Overwrite existing instances
- If you check this box, the instances of the import file overwrite
the identically named instances that exist in the target location.
