Importing resources is the first task you can perform once you
have created a connection or opened an existing connection. You can import
Pacbase entities from a Repository if you have created a connection to a Pacbase
database. To import instances into your workspace, you must fill in the import
wizard.
You import Pacbase entities from the Pacbase explorer view and you
need to have a connection to a Pacbase database created for that purpose.
To
open the import wizard, proceed as follows:
- From the Pacbase explorer view, open an
existing connection.
- Under this connection, right-click on an entity type (ex:
Data element) and select Fetch from repository in the
popup menu. You have then access to the database resources. It implies you
being connected to this repository and database.
- In the wizard that opens up, select the entity you want to import,
the number of instances to be imported and the first characters of the entity
names from which the import will start.
- Then, click Finish.
The imported instances will then be displayed in the
Pacbase
explorer view, in your current connection, and in the branches
which correspond to their entity types. Each entity branch displays the number
of imported instances.
