Importing instances
The rpp --automaticMigration command automatically imports instances. However, you can also import instances independently. You can import instances from a file that was exported with the export function of the Design Explorer view or produced by the Pacbase batch migration procedures. These instances will populate the selected location of the Design Explorer view.
About this task
Procedure
You can import instances in two different ways:
- Enter an rpp –import command line from
a command prompt.Note: You can also import updates that are extracted from the Pacbase journal or from the file that is produced by the MIBU procedure (customized migration). You must then enter a rpp –importJournal command.
- In the Design Explorer view, right-click and select Import. A wizard opens.
Results
An xml technical file is created when the import ends. This file is required if you want to import updates from the journal later. It gathers information that is not included in the new Rational Programming Patterns model, and the list of the instances that were previously imported.
