Replace in Destination Column (Import and Export)

You can select which components will replace or override existing components, when you have created a configuration package for export.

  1. Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.
  2. In the left Navigator, click Configuration Package Management > Component Lists.
  3. In the Component List log, double-click the component that you want to open.

    The Edit Component List log opens. The Edit Component List log has two panes. The left pane is the components navigation pane, and the right-pane is the components log pane, corresponding to the component select from the navigation pane.

In the Edit Component List log, from the components navigation pane, when you click any component, the corresponding component log includes the Replace in Destination column (the last column).

When you select a component, you select the corresponding check box in the Replace in Destination column to indicate whether your selected component can replace the existing component in the destination.

In case of Business Processes (from the components navigation pane click Setup, under the Company Workspace), you can do the same and indicate whether your selected BP can replace the existing BP in the destination by way of selecting the corresponding check box in the Replace in Destination column.

Note: For a single-record BP, whether you select the option Replace in Destination, or whether you do not select the option Replace in Destination, the system will replace the destination BP.

When importing the configuration package, the components that have the additional Replace in Destination check box deselected will not override the existing component values with the contents from the package. The After Import Status value for those components will be No Change.

If the component exists in the destination, it will get overridden, based on selecting Replace in Destination for that components in the package. If the component does not exist in the destination, it will be added by default.

Example

If a string drop-down (pulldown) DD such as Assigned Department which has been used in user attributes is modified in the destination server, and if the configuration package has same string drop-down (pulldown) DD (Assigned Department), where the Override option is not selected, then it will be ignored while importing the configuration package and in the destination server the Assigned Department values remains the same after the configuration package import.

Note: Currently, all of the associated groups for the tagged components will be part of the configuration package (for some components users will also be tagged), and when the configuration package is imported, even though the components do not get updated because the Replace in Destination is set to No Change, the associated groups and users will be added into the destination.
