RepositoryImportProject

Use this call to import a KCM Repository project.

Another method to import KCM Repository projects, RepImport.exe, is deprecated. We recommend that you use RepositoryImportProject instead.

Syntax

RepositoryImportProject
				ProjectName (<text>)
				FilePath (<text>)
				Overwrite (<Boolean>);

Parameters

  • ProjectName: Required. The name of the project to import.
  • FilePath: Required. The project file to import.
  • Overwrite: Optional. If set to False, the import will fail if the project with the given name already exists. If set to True, the import will overwrite the existing project. In either case, the project is created if it does not exist yet. Default is False.

Consider the following when importing project exports:

  • You can import only one project at a time. If you are trying to import two or more projects at a time, the error message appears.
  • When importing a regular or "Archive and helpdesk" project export, the import fails if the project with the same name already exists and contains active Changesets created and controlled by an external workflow. To replace an existing project when importing the export, deactivate or publish such Changesets in the existing project. For more information on an Archival and helpdesk export, see the Kofax Communications Manager Repository User's Guide. For more information on Changesets, see KCM Designer Help.
  • If you are overwriting an existing project, the import replaces any Changesets from the existing project. A regular export cannot contain Changesets, so after you import it replacing an existing project, no Changesets are present in the final project. An "Archival or helpdesk" export may contain Changesets, and after you import it replacing an existing project, the final project only contains the Changesets that are present in the export.
