CentraSite enables you to import data to the Registry and Repository. Data to be imported can be of different types and from different sources:
* Importing Data from an Archive you created with the CentraSite  Exporting Data from Centrasite function.
* Importing XML Schemas from a Web server or file system.
* Importing Data from an Archive from a Web server or file system.
* Importing Data from an Archive created in Eclipse from a file system.
* Importing Data from an Archive from a file system.
* Importing Data from an Archive from an XPDL file.
Details about each of these import options are provided in the corresponding help topics. For all import options, the following rules apply:
*If the object to be imported does not exist in the target registry, it is created by the import operation.
*The user who performs the import operation becomes the owner of all imported registry objects that are added to the registry. Ownership of existing objects that are replaced by the import operation remains unchanged.
*Any imported registry object that is added to the registry is affiliated to the organization to which the user belongs who performs the import operation. For existing objects that are replaced by the import operation, the affiliated organization remains unchanged.
*Any permission that is defined for a registry object that is overwritten by an import operation remains unchanged.
