Creating an OData Service using OData Importer from the UI
You can import an OData service by importing the archive file (.zip file) to which the OData service was previously exported. You can import OData services into the same CentraSite registry from which they were originally exported or to a different CentraSite registry.
To create a new OData service using OData Importer
1. In CentraSite Business UI, click the Create Assets activity. This opens the Create New Asset wizard.
The bottom panel of the Create New Asset wizard shows the option to import an archive file.
2. To import an archive file, click Choose to navigate to the folder where the exported OData service archive file resides and choose the file. When you choose a file to import, the fields in the Basic Information section cannot be edited.
3. Click Next.
The Create New Asset wizard displays the list of OData service objects to import. The checkbox beside each object indicates whether the object should be imported. By default, all objects displayed are included in the import set.
4. To exclude any OData service object from the import set, unmark its checkbox.
5. Expand Advanced Settings to display a set of additional import options for the OData service. These settings are optional.
