Importing Provider Packages
You can import an exported development package to another server, either as an archive file or from a workspace.
To import a package
1. In Software AG Designer, on the File menu, click Import.
The Import dialog box appears.
2. Click the arrow next to Software AG and select either Import CloudStreams Provider Archive File or Import CloudStreams Provider from Workspace.
Import CloudStreams Provider Archive File - Import the provider project archive file.
In the Provider details dialog box, provide the following details:
Field | Description |
Archive File | Click Browse and select the archive file. |
Name | Displays the provider project name. |
Target Runtime | Displays the default API level supported by the server. |
Project Version | Displays the provider project version. |
Publisher | Displays the name of the publisher of the provider project. |
Click Next and in the Connector Details dialog box, select the connectors you want to import and then click Finish. The provider and all the artifacts are created.
Note: You cannot choose a different name while importing a package. The provider is created with the same name as the zip file.
Import CloudStreams Provider from Workspace - Import the provider project from a workspace.
In the Import provider project dialog box, click Browse and select the directory where the provider projects are located. All projects in the selected directory are displayed. Select the provider project that you want to import and then click Finish. The provider and all the artifacts are created.
Note: While importing from a workspace, the provider content is retrieved and the project is created in the current workspace. If a provider project with the same name already exists in the current workspace, the project appears as grayed out in the dialog box. Further, if you are connected to Server A and want to import a provider project that is developed on Server B, you must have sufficient access privileges in Server B in order to import the provider project.
