1.37 Import SOA Composite Wizard - Create Project Page

Use to create a SOA project from an existing SOA archive.

This enables you to use existing SOA archives as templates for new projects. For example, assume you first design and deploy a large and complicated project in a SOA composite application. You then need to design a second project that is very similar, but not quite the same, as the previous project. Instead of designing the second project completely from scratch, you can create a project from an existing SOA archive. This creates the same project as the first one in the Applications window. You can then modify the second project, as necessary.

This page is displayed if you select an application from the Application dropdown list, and then select File > Import > SOA Archive Into SOA Project. If you select an existing project into which to import a composite archive in the Applications window, then select File > Import > SOA Archive Into SOA Project, only the second page of this wizard (the Import Composite Archive page) is displayed.

Element	Description
Project Name	Enter a name or accept the default name of Projectnumber. The project name must be unique across SOA composite applications. This is because the uniqueness of a composite is determined by its project name. For example, do not perform the following actions: Create an application named Application1 with a SOA project named Project1. Create an application named Application2 with a SOA project named Project1. During deployment, the second deployed project (composite) overwrites the first deployed project (composite).
Directory Name	Displays the directory path to the SOA composite.
