Importing the migration package
After you validate a package and there are no invalid (red) objects, you are ready to import. The import might take some time to process.
Before you begin
The Object Migration Agent must be running for import processing to occur.
About this task
If the package is configured to automatically run a particular workflow, it runs when the import process completes. You optionally specify a workflow to run at import completion when you create the package in the source IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities environment.
In the import package, you can deselect the workflow that was set in the export, but
you cannot select other workflows in the package. When the workflow runs upon the
completion of the import, a record is created based on several rules.
- If the workflow is defined on a business object, then a record of that business object is created.
- If the workflow is not defined on a business object, then a record is created of the base business object of the module.
- If the workflow is not defined on a business object and the module does not have a base business object, the run fails and therefore, the import fails.
Procedure
On the Object Migration page, click
Import.
Note: You can also click Import
Non-Conflicting to import new objects and objects with non-conflicting object labels
only. If an object has a conflicting object label, or an object is not new but is not supported by
object labels, then the object will not be imported. Be aware that this process can potentially put
your environment in an incomplete upgraded state as necessary objects may not be imported.
A
message is displayed in the Objects panel that indicates that the import is
started.Results
You receive a notification in your portal Home page when the import is complete. The status also displays in the Import Packages section of the Object Migration screen.
