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.
