You can import all of the assets in an export file or select the assets that you want to import.
When you import assets, you specify the following information:
•The assets in the export file that you want to import and the projects in which to import them.
•Whether to overwrite assets in the target project with assets in the export file when there is a name conflict.
•Whether to merge tags when you overwrite assets in the target project.
•Whether to publish assets when you import them.
To import an asset, you need the following privileges and permissions:
•Your user role must have privileges to import assets.
•If you import an asset into the target project as a new asset, you must have create, update, and read permissions on the asset.
•If you overwrite an asset in the target project, you must have update and read permissions on the asset.
Note: To overwrite a source-controlled asset in the target project, the asset must be checked out.
The target organization must have all of the required licenses for the assets being imported.
The Import Assets page lists the assets that are in the export file. You can select which assets you want to import, and then specify which project to import the assets to. You can accept the default project, which is the same project name as the source project, or you can select a different project. If the project does not exist in the target organization, Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services creates it.
You can publish assets when you import them.
Importing assets
Import assets from an Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services export file.
1 Log in to the target organization.
2On the Explore page, navigate to All Projects and click Import.
3On the Import Assets page, navigate to the export file and click Open, or drag the zip file from the Downloads folder in Windows.
The Import Assets page lists the assets in the file.
4Optionally, change the import job name.
5Choose whether to overwrite existing assets with the assets in the import.
- If you choose to overwrite existing assets, when an asset has the same name as an asset in the target project, the asset replaces the existing asset in the target project.
- If you do not choose this option, if an asset with the same name exists in the target project, the asset is not imported.
6Select the assets to import.
If the export file contains a project and you want to import the entire project, select all of the assets. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services creates the project in the target organization.
7Select the target project or accept the default.
8If you want to publish assets when you import them, select Publish Application Integration assets after import.
9Click Test to see the potential results of the import.
In the Select Assets area, the status for each asset shows the action that the service performs when you import the files.
10If necessary, revise your selections to resolve any issues in the test results.
11Click Import.
You can see the progress of the import on the Import tab of the My Import/Export Logs page. When the import process is complete, a message appears in Notifications. Click the link in the message to open the log details page and see the results of the import.
Publishing imported assets
Use the Publish Application Integration assets after import option to publish most Application Integration assets when you import them.
The import file contains information on whether the asset was published to a Secure Agent or to Cloud Server in the source organization.
If the import file contains assets published to a Secure Agent in the source organization, Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services deploys the asset to the same Secure Agent in the target organization. If the target organization is not linked to the same Secure Agent, the publish fails and you see an error.
If the import file contains assets published to Cloud Server in the source organization, Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services publishes the asset to Cloud Server.
To publish connections and service connectors that require credentials, first enter the credentials and then publish the assets from the Explore page. If you use the Publish Application Integration assets after import option, you see an error because export files do not contain a password.
