Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.6

Importing instances

You can import instances from a file which was exported via the export function of the Design explorer view or output by the VA Pac batch migration procedures. These instances will populate the selected location of the Design explorer view as well as the selected project(s) in the Navigator view.

  1. In the Design explorer view, open a location (it must be represented by open location).
  2. Right-click on the location line, on an entity line or an instance line and select Import in the popup menu. This opens a two-page import wizard:
    • On the first page, you specify the import file, and the location and project(s) into which the instances are to be imported. Click Finish if all the instances contained in the file are to be imported. Otherwise, click Next to access the second page of the wizard.
    • On the second page, you specify the instances to be imported, and whether they are to overwrite identically-named instances, if any, in the target location. Then click Finish.
Results
The selected instances are then imported into the location you have specified. They are also physically distributed into a specified project or into a structure of projects, as you can see in the Navigator view of the Design perspective.
