Import an Application
The ImportApp utility lets you copy an entire application from a previously exported text or XML file into a database.
You should run the ImportApp utility with a value for the
-n parameter (described in
Parameters for the ImportApp Utility (see
Parameters for the ImportApp Utility)) to resolve name conflicts between imported and existing applications and components. Such conflicts can arise in any of the following situations:
• If the name of a component being merged into an existing application already exists in that application
• If you create a new application with the same name as an application that already exists in the database
The most efficient method of accessing the ImportApp utility is from the Develop tab of Workbench.
To import an application
1. Click the header bar of the Applications portlet on the Develop tab to make it the active portlet.
2. Click File, Import.
The Import an Application dialog appears.
3. Set parameters for the specified application.
4. Click Go.
