Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.5

Import wizard (first page)

On this page, you select the export file or the file output by the VA Pac batch migration procedures, and specify the location and project(s) into which the instances it contains will be imported.

File extension
Select the file extension. The default extension is xmi, which corresponds to the extension of a file exported via the Export function of the Design explorer view. The ta2 extension, which is the other possible extension, corresponds to a file output by the VA Pac batch migration procedures.
From file
Click the associated Browse button to locate the export file or the file output by the VA Pac batch procedures.
Into location
Click the downward arrow to display the locations which already exist in your workbench. Select one of them.
Options
Here you indicate the project(s), i.e. physical organization(s), into which the instances contained in the file are to be imported. You have two options:
  • Import into a project: All the instances will be imported into the same project, which you must select. You must be aware that this option deprives you of the benefits of the VA Pac library-related inheritance principle.
  • Import into a default structure of projects: This is the default option. This structure reflects the structure of the VA Pac database in libraries. If you select this option, each library will correspond to a specific project, named after the library. You will then keep the benefits of the VA Pac library-related inheritance principle. So, for example, a Program stored in an AAA project (which comes from the AAA library), will then either call a Data Element as it is stored in the BBB project or as it is stored in the CCC project.
