On this page, you select the export file (created via the Export function
of the Design explorer view) or the file output
by the VA Pac batch migration procedures, and specify the location
and project(s) into which the instances contained in this file 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 the Design explorer view. 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 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), can then
either call a Data Element as it is stored in the BBB project
or as it is stored in the CCC project.
- 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.
