Importing Objects

This feature allows you to import objects to your target environment from the archived dump file. The dump file from source environment should be downloaded and moved into /ftpshare/ObjectMigration/metadata/restore folder in the target system. This folder structure needs to be created manually.

The roles mapped to Object Migration Import are as follows:

OMIMREAD: This role provides you the read access for the objects that are migrated.
OMIMWRITE: This role provides you the edit or write access for the objects that are migrated.
OMIMADVND: This role provides you the access for the objects that are migrated.

For all the roles, functions and descriptions, see Appendix A.
