Import a Procedure Library Interactively

The interactive method displays prompts for each stage of the import. If you want to import a procedure library without displaying all of the prompts, use the command line method. See Import a Procedure Library Using Command Line Options.

Note	The IMPORTLIB option is not available from the swutil menu.

1.

To import a procedure library, use the following command:

swutil IMPORTLIB library target

where:

—

library is the name of the library you want to import.

To import a procedure library (for example, carpool.xpdl) from a directory outside of SWDIR/util (for example, /Dept/Purchasing), run the following command:

swutil IMPORTLIB /Dept/Purchasing/carpool.xpdl target

—

target is the full path to the library (as shown in Procedure Manager).

Note	If your library names use spaces, you must quote them in the command line. See Import a Procedure Library.

The library can be either an .xfr or .xpdl library. If there is only one type in the folder, then iProcess imports that library automatically. If however there are both types, such as carpool.xfr and carpool.xpdl, you will be prompted to choose which you want to import, as follows:

'F'carpool.xfr,'P' carpool.xpdl,'Q'uit?

Enter F to import the .xfr or enter P to import the .xpdl.

2.

For each procedure and sub-procedure in the library, the command displays the same prompts that you would see if you were importing the procedure individually. See Import a Procedure for more information.

The library and all of its procedures are imported to Procedure Manager in the target you specified. If you want to move the library or procedures, use Procedure Manager to do so. See "Moving and Copying Procedures, Libraries and Shortcuts" in TIBCO iProcess Modeler Procedure Management.

Note	When you import an .xpdl library, it already has a default destination library, which is the user input package name used when you exported the procedures as .xpdl from TIBCO Business Studio. However, you still can define the destination library, which will contain the default destination library.

Example

To import a procedure library from the admin.xfr file into the /Dept/Purchasing library following the interactive prompts, you would use the following command:

swutil IMPORTLIB admin /dept/purchasing

To import a procedure library from the admin.xfr file into the /Dept/Purchasing 2 library following the interactive prompts, you would use the following command (note the quoted pathname):

swutil IMPORTLIB admin ‘/dept/purchasing 2’
