Importing a project

As the Administrator you can import a project into Decision Center from a .zip file.

About this task

Projects that you import must have been created from Rule Designer or exported from Decision Center (see Exporting the current project). The .zip file can contain 1 or more projects.

If the project you are importing already exists in Decision Center, you are notified and can then initiate synchronization.

Tip:

If the project already exists, consider erasing the project first before importing, instead of synchronizing.

During this synchronization, Decision Center handles differences the following way:

New elements found in the .zip file are added to the Decision Center version of the project.
Deleted elements are not synchronized. If you deleted an element in Decision Center and not in the .zip version, the element is added to the Decision Center version. Similarly, if an element is deleted in the .zip version, it is not removed from the Decision Center version.
Changes made to the elements in the .zip version override elements in Decision Center if you check the option Also override changes in Decision Center. If this option is not checked, the Decision Center version remains intact.

Procedure

To import a project:

On the Configure tab, click Import Projects.
Browse to enter a .zip file containing 1 or more rule projects and click OK.
If the project already exists, click No to cancel the import or Yes to synchronize.
