Import

The Import wizard lets you select an exported file to load. By default, this is a file with an .mdk extension. It shows which projects are being imported, and whether they are overwriting existing projects in your KCM Repository, or whether new projects are added.

Prior to importing, back up your database.

Consider the following when importing project exports:

When importing a project from an older KCM Repository, a number of predefined folders are added to it, such as DIDs, Style Documents, Text Blocks, Forms, Field Sets, and Views. This is similar to the creation of a new project.
When importing an "Archival or helpdesk" export, the import fails if the project with the same name already exists. To complete the import, rename the existing project.
When importing a regular export, the import fails if the project with the same name already exists and contains Changesets created and controlled by an external workflow. To complete the import, delete such Changesets from the existing project. For more information on these Changeset types, see KCM Designer Help.

Runtime errors may occur when importing a project that is currently in use. It is recommended to import such a project during its non-production hours

You can view the export/import history of an object. See Projects.

To import an object, in the tree view, click the object to import and on the menu and then click File > Import/Export > Import.
The Import Wizard is opened.
Select the file to import and click Next > Next > Finish.
