Importing and sharing assets

Preparing to import assets with InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager
Before you import assets, review your access privileges, review the parameters that must be set, and determine the type of import that you want to use. These optional steps can help you avoid mistakes when you import assets.

Importing metadata by using InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager
You can import by using a bridge or connector that is on any computer that is designated as a metadata interchange server. You specify connection information and information about the source metadata, and choose to run either an express import or a managed import.

Working with staged imports
You can analyze, preview, compare, and reimport metadata before you share it to the metadata repository.

Sharing imports to the metadata repository
You can share staged imports to the metadata repository where suite users can access the imported assets.

Deleting import areas and staged imports
You can delete import areas and individual staged imports in InfoSphere® Metadata Asset Manager.

Resetting running tasks in InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager
You can stop and reset a task that fails to complete.
