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 the assets in the export file when there is a name conflict.
•Whether to merge tags when you overwrite assets in the target project.
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.
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.
Importing assets
Import assets from an Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services export file.
When you import a project, you can import the entire project or import the assets that you select.
Note: When you import a Data Quality design API, you must create a deployment with the same name as in the source system by logging into the Data Quality service.
1 Log in to the target organization.
2On the Explore page, click Import.
The Import Assets page appears.
3On the Select Import File section, navigate to the export file and click Open, or drag and drop the zip file from your saved location.
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 and an asset with the same name exists in the target project, the existing asset is retained.
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.
8Click 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.
9If necessary, revise your selections to resolve any issues in the test results.
10Click 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.
Note: You can't import a policy into a different folder if a policy with the same name already exists in another folder in the target system. The policy import fails due to a naming conflict.
