Package Settings (Import)

To import objects, specify the import settings and the location of the migration package.

To specify the location of the migration package:

  1. Under Migration Package, specify the package from which you want to import objects:

  2. Click Load Package. The package name, description, and publisher are displayed. To select which objects to import from this package, click Portal Resources.

Under Import Settings, select the appropriate options:

Option

Description

Import ACLs

Select this to import the Access Control Lists (user and group security settings) for all the objects you are importing.

Overwrite Remote Servers

Specifies that existing remote server objects should be overwritten by remote server objects in the migration package. The default is that existing remote servers are not overwritten.

Remember Dependency Settings

Select this if, on subsequent imports, you want the objects you are now importing to retain the new dependencies that you select in the importing portal. (You select new dependencies on the Unresolved Dependencies page.)

Always Create New Object Instances (Create Duplicates of Existing Objects)

Select this if you want to create new object instances instead of overwriting objects that may already exist on the importing portal.


  1. Click Administration.
  2. In the Select Utility drop-down list, click Migration - Import.
  3. On the left side of the page, click Package Settings.
