Method content previously exported by Engineering Method Composer as
an XML file can be re-imported. An imported XML file will become a
method plug-in with a configuration.
Before you begin
The import process requires a library. You must open an existing
library or create a new one before importing.
Procedure
- Click File and click
Import.
- Select
XML. Click Next.
- Specify the XML file to be imported. You can use Browse to
navigate to the file.
- Select one of these merge options:
- Override existing method library content with the imported
content
- Merge imported content into the existing method library
- Merge imported content into the existing method library (element
level merge); when selected, this option merges the content into the
method library at the element level rather than the package level.
- Select one of these check base plug-in options:
- Check base plug-ins
- Ignore and remove unresolved references
- Click Finish. The Backup Library
window displays.
- Specify the location of your backup file. The backup is
a copy of your library before the merge takes place. You have the
option to Skip the backup if you want.
- A window opens indicating when the import is complete.
You can inspect the error log. Click OK.
