About this task

To import a file containing an extended rule library or libraries:

Procedure

  1. From the Deployment menu, select Resource Manager > Import/Export.
  2. On the Import/Export page, next to Import Resources, click Go!
  3. Type the name of the file containing the extended rule library to import, or use Browse to locate and select it by clicking Open, and click Next. If the import file contains errors, you can either select the file and click Next again to continue the import, or click Cancel to stop the import process.
  4. If the exported file used a resource tag, type a name and description for the new resource tag and click Next.
  5. Indicate whether you want to update objects that may already exist in Sterling B2B Integrator with objects from the import (the default is Yes), and click Next.
  6. On the Extended Rule Libraries screen, from the Available list, select each library that you want to import, move the resources to the To be imported list, and click Save when you have selected all the necessary libraries. If you select more than one resource type to import, you must repeat this step for each resource type.
    Note: Some resources objects may require you to type the passphrase (created during export) before completing the import.
  7. To update Sterling B2B Integrator with the imported file or files, click Finish.
    Note: This process may take several minutes, depending on the number and size of the libraries being imported.
  8. When the message, The system update completed successfully displays, click View Import Report to see the import report.
  9. If errors occurred during import, next to Data which failed to Import, click Download to view the XML file containing the names of the objects that did not import.
    Note: This option displays only when the import completed with errors.
  10. To create a backup of the data as it existed prior to import, next to Data in SI before Import, click Download.
  11. In the Save As dialog box, change the default filename, backup.xml, to a unique, meaningful name for this backup, and then click Save.
    Note: Completing this step is very important. If you do not download the backup file to a hard drive or disk, you will lose the backup for the data as it existed prior to import.
