Importing Resources

You can import previously exported resources you into existing projects. You can also import other TIBCO Repository files into existing projects. This facility makes it possible to combine resources (for example, adapters and a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process) into one project.

Using a multi-file project is usually a better approach to project management than exporting and importing resources.

To Perform a Simple Import

1.	Choose Project>Import Resources from File, Folder, URL.

2.	Locate the file containing the previously exported resource. Use the Browse button to find the correct file.

TIBCO Designer imports the resource. If the resource was previously stored in the same hierarchy, TIBCO Designer finds the proper location and places the resource there. Otherwise, the resource is placed into the top-level folder.

Once you have imported a resource, you can move the resource to a different location, if you desire.

To Customize an Import

1.	Choose Project>Import Resources from File, Folder, URL.

2.	Specify the resource file, folder, or URL from which you wish to import.

3.	Check the Edit Advanced Settings box. TIBCO Designer displays the Import Options dialog, which offers the following options:

−	Include new global variables with import

Adds any new global variables associated with the new resource. Does not replace global variables.

−	Replace existing global variables with those in import

Adds any new and replaces any existing global variables with those associated with the new resource.

−	Do not include global variables with import

Does not load any global variables, even if there is no conflict.

−	Filter out unused global variables

Do not import a global variable if it is not used.

−	Skip import on name conflict

If a resource with the same name exists at the current location, do not import the resource.

−	Overwrite on name conflict

If a resource with the same name exists at the current location, overwrites the existing resource.

−	Try rename in case of name conflict

If while importing a resource a situation arises where at a given level, a resource exists that has the same name as the resource that must be imported into that level, then the resource getting imported will be renamed (appropriately) to avoid a name conflict.

4.	Make the appropriate selections in the Options tab.

5.	Click the Resources tab if you want to exclude any resources that are part of the resource file you want to import. Cleared items are not imported.

6.	Click Apply.

TIBCO Designer imports the selected resource using the specified settings.
