Importing eTL Projects Into Java CAPS 6

This topic provides instructions on importing an existing Java CAPS 5.1.3 project that contains eTL components. It assumes that the project is already available in the form of a ZIP file. If you are importing an eTL project that has the same Collaborations running concurrently in a Business Process, then multiple versions of those Collaborations will be created in the imported project. This is done to prevent overwriting any of the Collaborations during the import process.

To Import an eTL Project

Before You Begin

If necessary, start the CAPS repository, start the NetBeans IDE, and use Tools -> CAPS Repository -> Connect to connect to the repository.

1. In the NetBeans IDE, start Import Manager in one of the following ways:
   • Tools -> CAPS Repository -> Import Project
   • Right-click an existing CAPS Repository project and select Import -> Project
2. In the Import Manager dialog box: Browse to and select a project ZIP file to be imported, specify where in the project tree you want the imported project to reside, and click Import.

   Tip - If a previous project has been imported that contains the same environment, a dialog appears warning you that new object names will be created if you continue. If this occurs, you can either acquiesce to the new object names or (preferably) cancel the operation, rename or delete the old environment, and restart the import process.

   ---

3. After receiving the message “Import was successful”: You can either repeat the previous step with a new ZIP file, or click Close.

   Note - If you import a 5.1.x eTL project and need to re-import the project, do the following before importing the project again:

   • Delete the ETL module from the NetBeans Projects window.

   • Delete the directory JavaCAPSHome/.netbeans/caps/eTL/Imported Projects/ProjectName.

   If you do not perform the above steps before re-importing, you need to restart NetBeans before you can work with the re-imported project.

   ---

Next Steps

In the Projects window, two new projects are created at the project tree location you specified.

• A CAPS MDM Data Integrator project containing eTL collaborations

• A CAPS ESB Repository-based project containing CAPS artifacts other than eTL collaborations

The two projects have the same name, but can be distinguished by their different icons.
