Importing from Another Repository
Use the Repository Import Wizard to import a presentation catalog and its associated children business model and physical layer objects from another repository. You can also import users, groups, variables, initialization blocks, and projects. Use this feature when the objects you import are unrelated to objects already in the repository such as when the business model and physical layer objects do not exist. If an object of the same name and type exists, the import process overwrites the existing object with the new object. When you import objects from one repository into another, the repository from which you are importing must be consistent. NOTE: This option is not available when opening a repository online.
To import from another repository
- In the Administration Tool, open the repository in which you want to import objects, and then choose File > Import from Repository.
This option is not available when opening a repository online.
- In the Repository Import Wizard, select a repository by its file name or, if it is being used by Siebel Business Analytics, by the ODBC DSN that points to the desired repository on that server, and then click Next.
- Type the Analytics Server administrator user ID and password.
- In the Repository Import Wizard-Objects to Update dialog box, from the drop-down list, choose a category using Table 23 as a guide.
Available buttons (options) depend on the category that you select. You can add only the selected object, the selected object with its child objects, or the selected object with its parent objects.
- Repeat Step 4 until you have added all the objects you want to import.
If any objects need to be checked out, the Check Out Objects screen appears, notifying you that objects will be checked out.
- Click Next to continue.
- In the Finish screen, click finish.
If the Administration Tool is open in online mode, you will be prompted to check in the changes before closing the repository.
