Use to selectively import objects exported using the Smart Export.
The Smart Import wizard guides you through the process of importing objects into Oracle Data Integrator.
The Smart Import wizard has the following steps:
Use to specify the import settings.

| Response File | Optionally, select a Response File to replay a previous Smart Import wizard execution by presetting all fields. |
Click Next to move to the next step of the Smart Import Wizard.
Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) starts a matching process that verifies whether the repository contains matching objects for each of the potential objects being imported. ODI also performs an issue detection process to check for any issues that would prevent a successful import.
Use to verify the result of the matching process and to fix potential issues.
| Properties | Description |
|---|---|
| Import Object | Displays the objects to be imported and their dependencies in the navigator trees. Expand the nodes to navigate to the objects to import and to display the possible actions. |
| Action | Select the action to perform on the object during the import operation. Possible values are:
|
| Repository Object | Displays the repository objects that match the import object. From the list, select the required repository object. |
| Issues | Displays an icon indicating if issues such as broken links and name or code conflicts, have been detected during the matching process.
If an issue is detected, details are displayed in the Issue Details table. Next button is disabled until all critical issues are fixed. |
This table lists the issues that have been detected during the matching process. To fix an issue, select the action to perform in the Action column.
Note:
Oracle Data Integrator provides a default working solution for every issue. However, missing references may still occur during the actual import process depending on the selected import actions.| Properties | Description |
