7.2.3 Import Object

Object Import Definitions is a collection of objects that can be imported across environments.

You can view the list of Object Import Definitions that are already created in the Object Import Summary. You can also view the following details about each Object definition.

• Name - The unique name assigned to the collection when the Import definition was created.

  Note:

  Up to Release 26A, Object Migration performed duplicate checks in the target environment by considering both the Code and Name of the object definition. From Release 26A onwards, the duplicate check is performed only based on the Code of the object definition. This enhancement is not applicable to duplicate name checks for IRC and IRC Loader objects.
• Object Migration Status - The import status of a specific Object definition.
  • Success - Indicates that the import is completed successfully.
  • Failed - Indicates that the import was not successful. You can reintiate the migration of theSpecific Object Definition.
  • Skipped: - Indicates that during object migration, if the overwrite flag is set to No and the same code, name, or both already exist in the target environment. p

    Note:

    If the overwrite flag is set to Yes:

    And both the code and name match, the object is migrated. However, if either the code or name does not match, the system marks the object as Skipped.

  • Saved - Indicates that the Object Definition is created successfully and is yet to be imported.
  • In Progress -Indicates that the import is in progress. Once the import is complete, the status will change to Success/Failed.
• Last Modified By - The ID of the Last Modified by user who has modified the definition.

  On mouse over, the Last Modified Time and Date are displayed.
