Before you begin, you must complete Exercise 1: Obtaining the sample and setting up.

Importing the asset

Start this exercise from within the RAS perspective.
  1. Click File > Import. The Import wizard opens.
  2. On the Select page, click RAS Asset and click Next. The Import RAS Asset wizard opens.
  3. Under Source, be sure File system location is selected and do one of the following:
    • Type the complete path name and file name where the SampleRASAsset.ras asset resides. This will be the path of your workspace.
    • Browse to the SampleRASAsset.ras asset, which will be located in your workspace, and click Open.
  4. Under Options select the Save the asset manifest(s)check box to save the manifest file from your asset.
  5. Click Next.
  6. On the Select the destination page you must specify a project folder. This is necessary if the asset you are importing contains non-project artifacts. For this example this is not necessary as we are importing only a complete project.
  7. Click Finish. The Folder Selection opens.
  8. Select a folder for the manifest file, and then click OK. Import results are displayed and the imported project and artifacts are now visible in the Navigator view.

Now you are ready to begin Exercise 3: Viewing the imported asset files.
