Rational Programming Patterns

Import wizard (page 1)

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.
