Appendix D Working With Legacy Projects : Importing a Project

Importing a Project

You can import a project using one of the legacy formats into the current project. When you import a project into another project, you add all the resources in the imported project into the current project.

To Import a Project

1.

Choose Project>Import Full Project.

2.

Choose the appropriate tab in the Import Project window and provide the information:

Local Repository

Import the project from a single repository .dat file.

TIBCO Designer displays the Import Options dialog. See Importing Resources for a description of options.

Server Repository

Import the project from a server repository (.dat file managed by a TIBCO Administration Server).

See Table 17, Specifying Protocol Information.

ZIP Archive

Import the project from a ZIP file.

3.

Click OK.

TIBCO Designer converts the project to multi-file project, then imports the multi-file project.

Importing projects can be useful because it bypasses the export step when you want to combine projects.

Importing projects is mostly appropriate for legacy projects. For newly created projects, use version control instead to share different project components with other developers.
