Executing the Importing Profile

You can execute a saved profile two ways:

Using Job Center. Each time a new profile is created, a job of type transfer metadata is also created. These jobs can be scheduled to run periodically from the Job Center. For information on how to schedule and execute jobs, see OneData.

By direct execution. You can execute the profile directly using the Administer > Metadata > Import Metadata menu.

To execute the import metadata profile

1. Turn off any scheduled jobs. For information about this procedure, see Turning Off Scheduler.

2. On the Menu toolbar, click Administer > Metadata > Import Metadata.

3. To import the metadata, select the relevant profile and click Import.

4. Verify that the selected values are accurate and click Import or Save and Import.

5. OneData displays a prompt asking whether to run the job as a background task.

Click OK to run the job in the background. OneData returns a token (Job Log ID) that you can use in the Job Center to view the job results.

Click Cancel to run the profile directly and display the results immediately.

6. When the transfer is complete, clear the cache in the destination repository:

a. On the Menu toolbar, click Administer > System > System Consoles > Metadata Repository Console.

b. Click the Clear Cache icon corresponding to the destination repository.
