You can import workspaces that are exported from Rational® Focal Point™.
You might want to import workspaces when you move a workspace from
one installation to another.
About this task
When you import a new workspace, links to other workspaces
are ignored and baselines are not included. To import a workspace,
you must be a global administrator or have the Workspace permission.
Note: Because
the server uses many resources to import workspaces, import workspaces
when few users are logged in.
Procedure
- Click General and select Workspaces.
- Click Import Workspace.
- Click Browse and find the .fpz file
that has the workspace to import. Click OK.
Note: If you do not have a file that contains a workspace, you
must export a workspace. When the workspace is exported, an XML representation
of the workspace is stored in a compressed file that has the extension
.fpz. The compressed file contains both the XML files and files that
were uploaded to file attributes in the workspace, such as images.
- In the page that is displayed, map the members in the imported
workspace to users in the database. You can create a user to map a
member to by clicking Add as new user. Every
member in the workspace must be mapped to a user, and each user can
be mapped to only one member.
Tip: If the user
does not match the imported member, map the member to another user.
If the number of users exceeds 50 or the imported workspace has more
than 100 members, a lookup window opens.
- Click OK.
Results
The import starts and the progress of the import is displayed.
After the workspace is imported, click the workspace link to open
the workspace.
