Importing Activation SRT Cartridges from SAR Files

To import Activation SRT cartridges into Design Studio, you need to import the SRT cartridge and the Activation Network or Activation Service cartridge upon which the SRT cartridge depends (for service actions). When you locate the SRT cartridge and appropriate Activation cartridge that you need to import, they may be combined in a single SAR file or packaged individually as separate SAR files. In both cases, importing is a two-stage process:

Import the Activation Network or Service cartridge.
Import the Activation SRT cartridge (it is recommended that you import in this order, although the reverse order is possible).

Note:

When importing an SRT cartridge, error messages may appear indicating that some service bundles are not synchronous with the service actions that they reference. This occurs when some service action parameters have not been mapped in the service bundle. If this occurs, you can synchronize the parameters from the service bundle editor.See "Mapping Upstream Interface Parameters to Service Action Parameters" for more information.

The following procedure describes how to import SRT cartridges from a SAR file, using two example SAR files:

both.sar: In this example, this SAR file contains both an Activation SRT cartridge and an Activation Network or Service cartridge required for the SRT cartridge. The two-stage import sequence is illustrated by importing cartridges from this file.
nosrt.sar: In this example, this SAR file contains only an Activation Network or Service cartridge required for an SRT cartridge. An explanation is provided on how the two-stage import sequence would progress by importing the cartridge from this file.

To import an Activation SRT cartridge from a SAR file:

In the Studio Design perspective, right-click in the Studio Projects view and click Import Activation Archive.

Alternatively, select File, select Import to display the Import-Select dialog box, then select Studio Wizard, select Activation Archive (SAR) and click Next. The Activation Archive Import Wizard appears.
In the Activation Archive Import Wizard, click Browse.
Search for the SAR file that contains both the desired Activation SRT cartridge and Activation Network or Service cartridge.

In this example, you would search for both.sar file.

Alternatively, when applicable, search for the SAR file that contains only the Activation Network or Service cartridge that is required for an SRT cartridge in a separate SAR file. In this example, you would search for the nosrt.sar file.
Click Open.

The wizard now provides a list to select either the Activation Cartridge project (Network or Service cartridge) or the Activation SRT cartridge project contained in the SAR file. Select the Activation Cartridge project for the first import of the two-stage process.
Click Next.

On the Cartridge Details tab, select or enter the appropriate vendor, technology, and software load.
Click Finish.

In the Studio Projects view, the Activation Cartridge project appears with its Project entity.
For the second stage of the process, repeat steps 1 through 3.

This time, when you click Open, select the Activation SRT Cartridge project from the list.

Note:
Note that -SRT will be appended to the project name in the To project field.
Click Finish.

In the Studio Projects view, the Activation SRT Cartridge project appears with its Project entity. The previously imported Activation Cartridge and the Activation SRT Cartridge, both are now displayed as sealed cartridges.

Note:

Starting at step 2, the same two-stage import procedure could be repeated with cartridges packaged as separate SAR files. First, you would import the Activation cartridge from the nosrt.sar file, and then import the Activation SRT cartridge from the both.sar file (assuming it were dependent on the Activation cartridge of the nosrt.sar file. Otherwise, a dependent Activation SRT cartridge could be imported from an appropriate SAR file.
