Import wizard (page 1)
You must select the export file that was created with the Export function of the Design Explorer view or the file that was produced by the Pacbase batch migration procedures. You must specify the location where the instances that are 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 that was produced by the Pacbase batch migration procedures.Note: 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® Programming 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 that was 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.
- The ta2 extension corresponds to a file that was produced by the Pacbase batch migration procedures.
- 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 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.
