Note: | If the archive you wish to import was created with CentraSite 8.2 or earlier, the Import Preview page is not available. In this case, when you click Finish, the import operation continues with the Import Options dialog in step 4. |
Note: | In some cases, there may be a dependency between top-level objects (for example, a web service that refers to a taxonomy), and the import operation ensures that such dependencies are retained. This means that if you unmark the checkbox of a top-level object that is required by another top-level object, CentraSite will ensure that the required object is nevertheless included in the import. |
Option | Meaning |
Keep current organization / Assign new organization | When you import objects, you can import them into the same organization in the target registry as in the source registry from which they were exported, or you can assign a new owning organization. Choose Keep current organization to import the objects into the same organization. The organization in the target registry must have the same name and UUID as in the source registry. Choose Assign new organization to import the objects into a new organization. If you choose this option, you can select the new organization via the Select Organization button. In some cases, the original organization will be preserved during import even if you have selected a specific organization in this field. This happens if the object to be imported is any of the following: an organization a system-wide lifecycle model a system-wide policy Asset types are not owned by any organization, so selecting an organization for such objects has no effect. |
Keep current owner / Assign new owner | The imported objects can be assigned to the same owner as in the source registry, or you can assign a new owner. Choose Keep current owner to assign the imported objects to the same owner as in the source registry. The owner in the target registry must have the same name and UUID as in the source registry. Choose Assign new owner to assign the imported objects to a new owner. If you choose this option, you can select the new owner via the Select Owner button. |
Keep lifecycle state | This option determines whether the lifecycle state of the imported assets is preserved. Enable the option to retain the lifecycle state of the assets being imported. For more information, see How Lifecycle State Is Handled During
Import. |
Allow replace of registry objects | Choose this option to specify that existing objects with the same name in the target registry will be overwritten, even if the object in the archive is older than the one in the target registry. For more information about this option, see What Happens When an Imported Object
Already Exists in the Target Registry?. |
Import groups that the user belongs to | When you import a user, you can specify whether you want to also import the groups that the user belongs to. This applies only to user-defined groups; system-defined groups are not imported. Choose this option to import the user-defined groups that the user belongs to. |
