About Importing Products from AIA Servers

You import products from Application Integration Architecture (AIA) servers using the same process as when you import products from other types of servers. See "Importing Products" for more information.

AIA servers, however, enable you to pass into Design Studio enriched metadata when this metadata is defined for a product or for data elements associated with a product. When you import products from AIA servers, Design Studio:

Displays languages defined for a product in the Product editor and supports language options in the Display Name and Description fields. See "Defining Language Preferences" for more information.
Displays product start date and end date information on the Product editor Properties tab, if that information is defined for the imported product. See "Product Editor Properties Tab" for more information.
Displays product version information in the Notes dialog box. See "Defining Entity Notes" for more information.

Note:

The documentation defined in the Notes dialog box is overwritten if you re-import the same product.
Saves the version and start date information for data elements defined for a product on the Data Schema editor Notes tab. See "Notes Tab" for more information.
Saves the attribute definitions defined in the source system as data elements in the target data schema.Displays the product key on the Product editor Properties tab, if that information is defined for the imported product. The Key field value contains the product name that is defined in the source system.
